Fire science draws upon a wide range of computational approaches designed for different purposes, from estimating fire behavior and exposure in communities to evaluating management options and exploring long-term changes in vegetation, land use, and human-caused ignitions under a changing climate.

As wildfire impacts grow in scale and complexity, the science used to understand and anticipate them must be matched to different questions, timescales, and decisions. The Global Wildfire Collective (GWC) Academy is designed to amplify and apply this science to increase the resilience of institutions and communities through training modules, workshops and webinars.
