| | WALTER - Wildfire Alternatives Home |
 | | (WALTER), located at the University of Arizona, is an interdisciplinary research initiative aimed at improving our understanding of the processes and consequences of interactions among wildfire, climate and society. |
 | | WALTER seeks to capitalize on advances in geospatial, analytical, and web delivery technology to provide access to scientific research activities and findings, educational materials, and decision support tools, such as FCS-1. |
 | | Decision makers, managers, and scientists all recognize the power of mechanistic spatial models for tactical management of wildland fire and have expressed a need for strategic planning tools that also include climate and human factors. |
