PROJECT 

Name:  Climate Variability and Associated Wildfire Implications

Date Published:  2001

Brief Description:  A Climate Variability and Wildland Fire Workshop is planned to bring together fire managers (public and private), climate scientists (climatologists and oceanographers), and fire researchers to explore the connection between climatic phenomena (such as the El Nino Southern Oscillation and global warming) and wildland fire activity in the Southeast and Western United States.

Complete Description:  A Climate Variability and Wildland Fire Workshop is planned to bring together fire managers (public and private), climate scientists (climatologists and oceanographers), and fire researchers to explore the connection between climatic phenomena (such as the El Nino Southern Oscillation and global warming) and wildland fire activity in the Southeast and Western United States. Primary goals of the workshop are to identify fire management questions related to climate and identify individuals and tools available to help supply answers to these questions. This information exchange will help in anticipating and planning for severe fire seasons.
