FOR 433 will discuss the roles, uses and
limitations of quantitative and qualitative modeling in fuels
management and planning. Topics covered in this course will
include the role and uses of models to make predictions in fuels
management, validation and evaluation of models, and
communication and interpretation of modeling results for
planning and decision making in fuels management.
This course has been evolving over the last
three years through funding provided by the Joint Fire Science
Program and with help from many individuals involved in the
Fuels Synthesis Project. Many of the models we will discuss and
evaluate during this course are a result of the fuels synthesis
project or have been funded the Joint Fire Science Program.
