WildFIRE PIRE | NSF Research: Connections between Fire, Climate, and People
How has fire impacted our world—past, present, and future? The WildFIRE PIRE Project is a multi-year, interdisciplinary project funded by the National Science Foundation that strives to answer this question. Researchers from around the globe converge on Tasmania, New Zealand, and the American West to investigate the effects of fire in the face of climate change.
