Florida State University researchers will use new funding from the National Science Foundation to investigate mechanisms that drive wildfire spread.
Professor of meteorology Ming Cai; Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Institute (GFDI) director and professor of scientific computing Kevin Speer; associate professor of scientific computing Bryan Quaife; and Department of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Science research faculty Jie Sun are part of a multi-institution team awarded a three-year, nearly $900,000 NSF grant to explore how atmospheric factors influence wildfires and to improve emergency responses by developing computer models and simulations of wildfires.
