Forest and Fire Ecology

Limited resources demand that smoke managers and forest ecologists prioritize and develop cost-effective mitigation strategies. STI scientists and software engineers perform research to improve the understanding of wildfire risks, fuels treatment, and smoke impacts and develop software tools and decision support systems to help the fire and fuels community make more effective fire management decisions.

Our forest and fire ecology services include

Air Quality and Smoke Forecasting
Air Quality Data Analysis
Atmospheric Modeling and Analysis
Exposure Assessment
Instrumentation and Data Systems
Public Information Systems
Software Development and Decision Support Systems
Wildland Fire Emissions Studies
