This LANDFIRE Office Hour brings together three leading voices in fuels and fire science: Russ Parsons on Fast Fuels and its 3D data pipeline, Mark Finney on physics-based fire behavior modeling, and Sam from Forest Fire Management Victoria on a new universal fuel assessment approach out of Australia. Together they cover how high-resolution fuels data, from lidar to imagery-derived canopy models, is reshaping fire behavior prediction, firefighter training, and landscape-scale planning. If you work in fuels management, fire modeling, or wildfire research, this conversation offers a rare look at where the science is headed next. Resources mentioned in the presentation:
