Fire Science Degrees A plethora of fire science degree and certification programs are designed to provide prospective firefighters with a solid foundation and understanding of what the career entails, to ensure that they are completely knowledgeable and ready to act quickly in any emergency situation!
In 1986, it was shown for the first time that tobacco plants transformed (genetically engineered) to express the coat protein gene of TMV showed various degrees of resistance to subsequent inoculation with the same virus. Once the TMV coat protein gene was integrated in the tobacco genome, it ...
“The importance of science informing management has been a cornerstone of my 42 year career with BLM. I have been involved with the Great Basin Fire Science Exchange since its inception and it has exceeded all of my expectations and is now the premier science/management partnership in the ...
When fire intervals are shorter than the time required for plants to reproduce, plant populations are threatened by “immaturity risk.” Therefore, understanding how the time between fires influences plants can inform ecosystem management. Quantifying pe

indicated that many of the fires tended toward elongated, rather than circular, shapes (index value > 0.6; Fig.4e). Bearing ranged from 23 to 73 degrees (north-northeast to east-northeast) for all fires (Fig.4f); these values indicate the orientation of the two farthest extremities of...
according to a Saturday update from the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (Cal Fire). Excessive heat warnings are in effect through the weekend, with temperatures of 90 to 100 degrees forecasted across the Lake Fire area, as the blaze moves into parts of the county where th...

The SCC is usually determined through integrated assessment models (IAM) (Nordhaus2013) that bring together climate science and economics. First, future emissions are predicted based on population, economic growth, and technology which are then translated into climate responses such as temperature increas...
