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.

该野火产学合作研究中心 (IUCRC) 位于圣何塞州立大学，提供观察和预测工具以及研究结果，供急救人员、对风险分析感兴趣的人员以及社区和公司的决策者使用/受野火影响和关注的公用事业公司的研究重点包括火灾天气和大气建模和预测；野火管理和政策以及气候变化和野火风险。国家科学基金会的资金用于资助中心的管理费用，工业界通过会员费和其他资金提供财政支持，以支持中心的研究项目和为中心做出贡献的学生/博士后工业界成员组成的工业咨询委员会。帮助选择由中心教师提出的研究项目，以满足成员的集体研究需求。因此，IUCRC 的研究是竞争前的和基础性的，其主题由其工业顾问委员会指导，以消除阻碍其经济部门的障碍。圣何塞州立大学 IUCCRC 继续前进。野火将与工业、公用事业和政府机构合作，以增加我们对野火及其蔓延的了解，并探讨其社会和经济影响。该中心还将开发工具和模型，以提高受影响人群的疏散合规性。从而更好、更准确地模拟野火引发和模拟，该中心的影响是强大的、多方面的，具有重大的社会和经济意义，因为美国西部和世界各地的野火是造成人员伤亡的严重问题。财产损失和严重的环境问题目前全球变暖的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受野火影响的行业、社区和国家。建模工具可帮助公用事业公司在火灾高危时期更好地管理其资产，在火灾季节向急救人员提供关键信息，以及预测火灾前沿路径和火线推进速度。其他影响包括教育和劳动力培训工作以及代表性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教育和信息工作的目标，因为这些人群往往受野火影响最严重，受野火影响的外国组织（例如澳大利亚和澳大利亚）对该中心感兴趣。葡萄牙将在全球推广该中心的工作成果 野火跨学科研究中心 (WIRC) 是一个产学合作研究中心，其目的是进行高影响力的野火研究，为社区和行业利益相关者提供知情的工具和政策。该中心的使命是开发新的预测和观测系统，以更好地了解气候变化下的极端火灾行为，通过提供跨物理、跨学科的解决方案来解决国家的野火问题。该中心将为以下野火科学做出贡献：火灾天气和火灾-大气耦合建模和预测，其中包括为行业利益相关者开发新的火灾危险指标，并为其建立新的理论； 、观察、火势及火势蔓延将为预测系统开发模型；检查野火易发地区的野火管理和适应的社会和自然环境之间的关系以及气候变化和野火风险；现场数据将用于确定历史趋势，模型将用于量化这些决定因素对火灾行为的影响。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力和更广泛的评估进行评估，被认为值得支持。影响审查标准。
