The GigaFire Project
Overview
Overview
The GigaFire Project is a set of interconnected research projects focused on quantifying the state and dynamics of wildland fuels as well as the impacts of varying fuel managements on fire severity, long-term carbon sequestration, and water quality. The overarching goal is to produce actionable data for land managers coping with the increasing scale and severity of wildfires.
