This Industry-University Cooperative Research Center (IUCRC) on Wildfires, located at San Jose State University, provides tools, observational and predictive, and research results for use by first responders, those interested in risk analysis, and policy makers for communities and companies/utilities impacted by, and concerned about, wildfires. Center research thrusts include fire weather and atmospheric modeling and forecasting; fire behavior monitoring and modeling; wildfire management and policy, and climate change and wildfire risk. IUCRCs are innovative collaborations between universities and industry where funding from the National Science Foundation is used to fund Center administrative costs and industry provides financial support via membership fees, and other funding, to support Center research projects and student/postdoc salaries. Industry members contributing to the Center form its industrial advisory board that helps select research projects, proposed by Center faculty, that address the members’ collective research needs. Thus, research in an IUCRC is pre-competitive and fundamental with topics directed by its industrial advisory board to remove obstacles that are preventing their sector of the economy from moving forward. The San Jose State University IUCRC on wildfires will be working with industry, utilities, and government agencies to increase our knowledge of wildfires and their spread and explore their social and economic implications. It will also examine means of generating better evacuation compliance from impacted populations. The Center will develop tools and models resulting in better and more accurate simulations of wildfire initiation and simulation. The broader impacts of this Center are strong and multifaceted with significant societal and economic relevance because wildfires in the western US and around the world are a serious problem that cause loss of life, loss of property, and serious environmental and ecosystem damage that lasts for decades. The present exacerbation in global warming will increase wildfire occurrence, so research products produced by this Center will help industry, communities and countries impacted by wildfires. Products to be generated include improved understanding of file and firebrand transport, modeling tools to help utilities better manage their assets in times of high fire danger, provision of critical information to first responders during the fire season, and prediction of fire front paths and fire line rates of advance. Other impacts include education and workforce training efforts and the involvement of groups underrepresented in the sciences and engineering. Underserved communities, impacted by wildfires, will be targeted for wildfire education and informational efforts as these populations tend to be the most negatively impacted by wildfires. Interest in the Center by organizations in foreign countries impacted by wildfires, like Australia and Portugal, will extend the results of this Center’s work globally. The Wildfire Interdisciplinary Research Center (WIRC) is an Industry-University Cooperative Research Center whose purpose is to conduct high-impact wildfire research to provide tools and informed policies to communities and industry stakeholders around the world. Its mission is to develop new prediction and observational systems to better understand extreme fire behavior in a changing climate. The Center will also develop an integrated approach to solving the nation’s wildfire problem by providing cross-disciplinary solutions that span the physical, social, and economic scientific fields. The Center will contribute to the following wildfire sciences: fire weather and coupled fire-atmosphere modeling and forecasting which will involve the development of new fire danger metrics for industry stakeholders; fire behavior monitoring and modeling for which new theories, observations, and fire and fire brand spread models for will be developed for forecast systems; wildfire management and policy which examines the nexus of the social and natural contexts of wildfire management and adaptation across wildfire prone landscapes; and climate change and wildfire risk. For these research thrusts, high-resolution reanalysis and in-situ data will be used to determine historical trends and models will be used to quantify the influence of these determinants on fire behavior.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该行业 - 大学合作研究中心（IUCRC）位于圣何塞州立大学的野火，提供工具，观察和预测性，以及急救人员使用的研究结果，对风险分析感兴趣的人以及对受野生动物影响和关注的社区，公司/公司/公司的政策制定者。中心研究推力包括火灾天气和大气建模和预测；火灾行为监测和建模；野火管理和政策，气候变化和野火风险。 IUCRC是大学和行业之间的创新合作，在该大学中，国家科学基金会的资金用于资助中心的行政成本，行业通过会员费和其他资金提供财务支持，以支持中心研究项目和学生/博士后的薪水。为中心做出贡献的行业成员由其工业顾问委员会组成，该委员会有助于选择中心教师提出的研究项目，以满足成员的集体研究需求。这就是IUCRC的研究是竞争力和基本的，其工业顾问委员会指导的主题是消除阻止其经济部门前进的障碍。圣何塞州立大学的野火IUCRC将与行业，公用事业和政府机构合作，以提高我们对野火的了解及其传播，并探索他们的社会和经济影响。它还将研究从受影响人群中产生更好的疏散依从性的手段。该中心将开发工具和模型，从而对野火计划和模拟进行更好，更准确的模拟。该中心的更广泛的影响是强大的，具有重大的社会和经济相关性，因为西方和世界各地的野火是一个严重的问题，会导致生命丧失，财产丧失以及严重的环境和生态系统损害，持续了数十年。目前的全球变暖加剧将增加野火的发生，因此该中心生产的研究产品将帮助行业，社区和受野火影响的国家。要生成的产品包括对档案和火力运输的理解，建模工具，以帮助公用事业在高火危险时更好地管理其资产，在火灾季节期间向第一响应者提供关键信息，以及对火线前路的预测以及前进的射击线。其他影响还包括教育和劳动力培训工作以及在科学和工程中的人数不足的群体的参与。受野火影响的服务不足的社区将成为野火和信息努力的目标，因为这些人口往往受到野火影响最大的人。由澳大利亚和葡萄牙等野火影响的国外组织对该中心的兴趣将扩大该中心在全球范围内的结果。野火跨学科研究中心（WIRC）是一个行业 - 大学合作研究中心，其目的是进行高影响力的野火研究，以向世界各地的社区和行业利益相关者提供工具和知情的政策。它的使命是开发新的预测和观察系统，以更好地理解不断变化的气候下极端的火灾行为。该中心还将通过提供跨越物理，社会和经济科学领域的跨学科解决方案来开发一种综合方法来解决国家的野火问题。该中心将有助于以下野火科学：火灾天气和耦合大气建模和预测，这将涉及为行业利益相关者开发新的火灾危险指标；火灾行为监测和建模将为预测系统开发新的理论，观察以及火品牌传播模型；野火管理和政策研究了野火管理的社会和自然背景的联系，并在野火容易发生的景观中进行了适应；以及气候变化和野火风险。对于这些研究推力，将使用高分辨率重新分析和原位数据来确定历史趋势，并将使用模型来量化这些决定者对火灾行为的影响。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被视为值得通过基金会的知识分子和更广泛影响的评估来审查审查标准来通过评估来获得支持。
