identify bold strategies for managing 21^st century fire in the
western US; conduct simulations to evaluate the outcomes of those strategies
over decadal to centennial horizons; analyze and interpret model output; and
communicate research orally and through peer-reviewed journal articles. This project
is funded by the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation and will include
opportunities to interact and collaborate with scientists at Columbia
University and UCLA. The successful candidate will be provided resources for
