Abstract

The U.S. Geological Survey’s Wildland Fire Science Program produces information to identify the causes of wildfires, understand the impacts and benefits of both wildfires and prescribed fires, and help prevent and manage larger, catastrophic events. USGS fire scientists provide information and develop tools that are widely used by stakeholders to make decisions before, during, and after wildfires in desert, grassland, tundra, wetland, and forest ecosystems across the United States. Active areas of research include—

Wildland fire behavior and risk management

Fire ecology, fire effects, and post-fire restoration of ecosystems

Risk assessments for human health, public safety, and the Nation’s infrastructure

Remote sensing and geospatial tools and data.

USGS WILDLAND FIRE SCIENCE STRATEGIC PLN
<p> U.S. Geological Survey Wildland Fire Science Strategic Plan, 2021–26 <p> <p> First posted February 23, 2021 <p> <p> For additional information, contact: Wildland Fire Science Program U.S Geological Survey 12201 Sunrise Valley Drive Reston, VA 20192 <p> Contact Pubs Warehouse: https://pubs.er.usgs.gov/contact <p> <p> Abstract <p> <p> The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Wildland Fire Science Strategic Plan defines critical, core fire science capabilities for understanding fire-related and fire-responsive earth system processes and patterns, and informing management decision making. Developed by USGS fire scientists and executive leadership, and informed by conversations with external stakeholders, the Strategic Plan is aligned with the needs of the fire science stakeholder community–fire, land, natural resource, and emergency managers from Federal, State, Tribal, and community organizations, as well as members of the scientific community. The Strategic Plan is composed of four integrated priorities, each with associated goals and specific strategies for accomplishing the goals: Priority 1: Produce state-of-the-art, actionable fire science; Priority 2: Engage stakeholders in science production and science delivery; Priority 3: Effectively communicate USGS fire science capacity, products, and information to a broad audience; and Priority 4: Enhance USGS organizational structure and advance support for fire science. The priorities of this Strategic Plan define the USGS’s commitment to producing and delivering cutting edge fire science, information, and decision-support tools in support of national, regional, and local priorities and stakeholder needs. <p>
