Multi-scale Analyses of Wildland Fire Combustion Processes in Open-canopied Forests using Coupled and Iteratively Informed Laboratory , Field, and Model-based Approaches

Abstract

This project, RC-2641, spanned several institutions and objectives, with a focal idea that an interdisciplinary, multi-scale approach is necessary to address the questions that were presented in the original RFP. As we move across these scales of observations, there are benefits and shortfalls that occur. In the laboratory, fuel beds can be deconstructed to the scale of individual particles, and access to the newest laboratory technology and the ability to repeat measures and provide statistical rigor yield new insights.
