About this opportunity
Wildfire behavior models rely on accurate representation of surface fuels such as grasses, litter, shrubs, and downed woody material, yet this remains one of the least resolved technical gaps, particularly in non forested ecosystems. Improving how these fuels are measured, classified, and modeled is critical to advancing fire prediction, prescribed burn planning, and operational safety. This exchange brings together federal program managers, operational leaders, fire behavior modelers, and cross sector innovators to refine the scope of an upcoming prize challenge focused on scalable, realistic solutions to this national level problem. This event is ideal for s working in AI and machine learning, remote sensing, geospatial analytics, environmental modeling, vegetation science, data fusion, ...
