| National Interagency Fuels Technology Team (NIFTT)
The NIFTT is sponsored by the NIFCG to coordinate, develop, and transfer consistent, efficient, and science- based fuel and fire ecology assessment technologies. Specifically, NIFTT will – through development of a strategic approach – provide guidance, training, and application tools for the implementation of these technologies. Two examples include coordinating product implementation and associated technology transfer through the development of a fuel’s fire behavior hazard measure and coordinating research results from Forest Service, Interior, and Joint Fire Science, among others. Core team members include agency, TNC, and private consultant fire and landscape ecologists; software developers; project coordinators; and support staff. The team is currently focusing on the technology transfer component of the national LANDFIRE project. LANDFIRE is a multi-partner mapping project that will generate consistent, comprehensive maps and data describing vegetation, fire, and fuel characteristics across the United States. For more information on NIFTT’s contribution to the project go to the LANDFIRE website at www.landfire.gov.

Workshop Announcement for FOR 438: Fuel Assessment Techniques Using LANDFIRE Data.
During this workshop, participants will learn about and be trained to use advanced Spatial Application tools within the ArcGIS environment that facilitate the local application of LANDFIRE and other data to support the prioritization and planning of specific hazardous fuel reduction and ecosystem restoration projects.
For more information, link to the NIFTT webpage at http://FRAMES.nbii.gov/niftt. |
