Description
The National Park Service intends to award a single source justified cooperative agreement for a project focused on understanding the consequences of fire regime changes in Grand Teton, Yellowstone, and Glacier National Park's forests. The project will explore how these changes will affect future forest cover, composition, and structure in the three parks. The recipient will conduct field research, geospatial analysis, and statistical analysis, and provide preliminary results to managers. The project is expected to last from August 1, 2019, to September 1, 2021.
Some key aspects of the project include:
• Conducting field research in Grand Teton, Yellowstone, and Glacier National Parks
• Completing geospatial analysis, modeling, and statistical analysis
• Providing preliminary results to managers
• Preparing and delivering conference presentations and regional presentations
• Submitting refereed publications and sharing research briefs with regional forest and fire managers
