Project Title:

Forest Fires

We would like to do a mathematical model of the affects of controlled forest fires versus wild forest fires. We plan to get information from the rangers at Jemez for information on the Dome and Nicole fires. We also plan to learn more about what fuels the fires and what long term effects a fire has on a forest.
