Additional Information:

Grant or Award spanning more than one fiscal year (2017-2018 to 2019-2020).

Recipient's Legal Name:
McDonald, André Garcia (University of Alberta)
Program:
Collaborative Research and Development Grants - Project
Program Purpose:

The proposed project will assess and quantify the energy transfer from wildland fires as it relates to vegetative fuel loading and coverage of the fuel with wildland fire chemicals for protection of wildland/urban interfaces. The project will extend on preliminary work on the relative performance of wildfire chemicals (e.g., water, gel, foam, and long-term retardants) on forest vegetation. The results of this proposed project will further develop proactive fire control measures, a priori to the occurrence of a fire, for community protection.
