Getting the ball rolling
Overview of STANDFIRE
• Many partners: RMRS (Parsons, Jolly, Cohn; Crookston, Sieg), PNW(Mell), LANL (Linn), INRA (Rigolot, Pimont, Dupuy, de Coligny).
• Objectives: 1) prototype system (FVS-> WFDS->outputs) 2) metrics (fuels and fire) 3) new platform for fire science development
• Project is mostly focused on programming/ development; little $ for field work etc – emphasis on using data we already have.– Platforms: Leveraging work from different contributors is facilitated
by work in multiple platforms (java, c++, matlab, python, R). – Programming: Emphasis on modular development, interchangable
parts, sensitivity analysis, component testing
Objectives
1. Prototype system is focal point but core science development (and publications) are the primary goal
2. Metrics : Investigate & evaluate existing metrics as well as explore development of new metrics
3. New platform for fire science development / collaboration

Idea is to build towards a modular system eventually facilitating complete integration of fuels science, fire behavior and fire effects-- someday, model surface fuels with multiple layers, heavy fuels, etc.
