    CU Boulder has a great number of experts conducting research focused on fires at the wildland urban interface (WUI). This research encompasses many aspects of WUI fires, including forecasting across scales, disaster resilience, air and water contamination, and community support. With the goal of increasing CU Boulder's impact and bringing our research community together, we are planning a workshop focused on wildfire in the WUI research on September 15, 2023.
    The broad goals of the workshop include:  

    Sharing research activities, interests, and outcomes with the University community and beyond 
    Identifying potential collaborations and synergies 
    Raising the visibility of CU Boulder’s expertise 
    Creating actionable information, including funding and policy recommendations, for our partners, state and federal policymakers, and community members

    If you are interested in participating or are working on fire research - please fill this form by July 10. Then organizers will look at submissions and organize the workshop. 
    For more information, please contact Christine Wiedinmyer or Fernando Rosario-Ortiz.
