International collaboration and research

Developing partnerships and creating cross-disciplinary research teams are critical in addressing the growing number of increasingly complex questions related to wildland fire. The Rocky Mountain Research Station's Fire, Fuel, and Smoke Science (FFS) program has a long history of international collaboration. Researchers at the Missoula Fire Sciences Laboratory work collaboratively with national and international partners to improve wildland fire research that maintains healthy, productive ecosystems and reduces risk to people and property.
