Fire Energetics and Emissions Research

This world map displays fires according to their fire radiative powers as measured by MODIS.

Welcome to FEER, a site dedicated to the research of fire energetics and emissions! The main motivation of this research is to gain a better understanding of how to quantify the strengths and effects of fires on the environment and climate. Check out the About section to gain a more detailed background of this research. An overview of what resources are currently available on this site is separated as follows:

• Projects: Houses the home pages of currently funded projects in this research.
