NSF Grant Will Support Research to Reduce Wildfire Threats

Wildfires pose a significant danger to people living at the wildland-urban interface (WUI) and have caused billions of dollars in damage to property. U-M CEE Associate Prof. Ann Jeffers is the lead P.I. on a project that just received a grant for almost $600,000 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to develop a computational model that will allow researchers to predict structural ignitions under wildfire exposure. The project’s title is “BRITE Relaunch: A Physics-Based Simulation Model for Exploring Community Resilience to Wildfires.”
