Fire Science Databases

Science Library

The Lake States Fire Science Library provides web features, summaries, syntheses, and links to important publications from key scientists for our region. Among those links, sources for tools and models that apply that fire science are included to help managers explore ways to integrate the science into their practices. Practitioners can use these resources when evaluating current methods and considering new approaches to wildland fire management in the region.

See our Ecosystems page for a description of fire-dependent ecosystems that are the focus of the Lake States Fire Science Consortium.
