The SPARx project is funded by the UC Multicampus-National Lab Collaborative Research And Training 2020 Awards under the project: Transforming Prescribed Fire Practices for California led by Prof. Tirtha Banerjee, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, UC Irvine. It involves collaboration among UC Irvine (lead institute), UC Berkeley, UC Riverside, UC ANR, and Los Alamos National Laboratory.
