Abstract

Fire management is growing increasingly complex in an environment beset by climate change, an ever-growing wildland-urban interface, and difficulties developing and maintaining workforce capacity. Delivery of timely and relevant fire science to managers is imperative, but here, too, there are challenges. Research on fire and fuels management is spread across a great variety of sources and platforms, and managers have limited time to search for relevant information needed for addressing critical management issues.
