Principal Investigator's Corner

JFSP Ten-Year Symposium

JFSP is organizing a three-day symposium at the Fire Congress in Savannah focused on what has been learned from 10 years of fire science investment, how that has changed science and management, and what we need to learn in the next 5-10 years. It is part of a larger effort by the JFSP Governing Board to take stock of where we are and lay out a strategy for future JFSP investment.

Please come to Savannah and help us celebrate 10 years of fire science and application, and chart a path forward for the next 10 years. Here is the agenda.
