Wildfire!
ORNL ESD personnel are developing a computer fire simulation, EMBYR, an Ecological Model for Burning the Yellowstone Region, to investigate the causes and consequences of large-scale fires like those that burned in Yellowstone National Park during 1988. EMBYR is not designed to make predictions about single fire events, but will be used as a ``what-if'' tool to investigate possible landscape-scale effects of variation in fire ...

*Wildfires Field Trip
Trailhead ---- Teacher's Resources ---- Start Field Trip
For many years, fire supression was used to controal and eliminate wildland fires. This was thought to be the right thing to do. Over time however, the duff, or underbrush piled up and fuel (the materials that fire feeds on) was allowed to accumulate to the point that were a fire to occur, disaster would almost certainly result.

This edition of The Why Files examines the role of fire in natural systems, and the role of science in understanding wildfires.
