DESCRIPTION:Wildfire presents a mix of challenges and opportunities for lan
 d management agencies in the United States. Many North American ecosystems
  evolved with fire as a natural part of their long-term ecological dynamic
 s\, and fire often plays a necessary role in regenerating vegetation and c
 ycling nutrients. But wildfire also is a significant threat to life and pr
 operty and is becoming increasingly destructive due to a mix of factors in
 cluding climate change\, expansion of developed areas\, and a century of l
 and management policies that attempted to exclude wildfire. The National C
 ohesive Wildland Fire Management Strategy\, initiated in 2009\, created a 
 vision for how to meet these challenges of wildfire management. The Cohesi
 ve Strategy emphasized three primary goals: 1) restore and maintain resili
 ent landscapes\, 2) create fire adapted communities\, and 3) promote safe 
 and effective wildfire response. \nIn this presentation\, I will discuss h
 ow wildfire research in the U.S. Forest Service is helping to address thes
 e goals. I will give some background about the U.S. Forest Service\, and r
 esearch programs at the Missoula Fire Sciences Lab\, where I have been a g
 eospatial analyst for the past 15 years. I will discuss the critical impor
 tance of spatial data in helping us to better understand the potential for
  wildfire in different landscapes and under different scenarios. These dat
 a include weather\, climate\, topography\, and vegetation datasets we use 
 as inputs\; and wildfire likelihood\, intensity\, hazard\, and risk datase
 ts we produce as outputs from wildfire modeling. Ultimately\, all these da
 tasets serve to inform strategic and tactical wildfire management decision
 s\, moving federal\, state\, and local agencies closer to achieving the go
 als of the Cohesive Strategy.\n***\nInvited by Stephanie Thomas\, Biogeogr
