iFireNet is an international network of networks organized around some of the most fundamental questions in the science of wildfires, funded by the National Science Foundation’s (NSF) AccelNet program. The linking of several multinational networks of wildfire researchers through this project will lead to the co-production of interdisciplinary scientific knowledge, standardized protocols for data gathering and experimental designs and facilitate the sharing and leveraging of resources and expertise through a diverse portfolio of ideas and personnel.
