Abstract
The Northwest Fire Science Consortium (Consortium)
works to accelerate the awareness,
understanding, and adoption of wildland fire
science by connecting users in the Pacific Northwest
with the most useful resources available.
These efforts require an ongoing understanding of
how users access wildland fire science, the challenges
and opportunities that they experience in
using different types of research, and topics where
more information is needed. Previous research, including
a prior assessment by the Consortium in
2011, has highlighted the importance of local or
regionally-relevant information among fire science
users. In this assessment, conducted in 2018, we
sought to update the needs assessment conducted
in 2011 while investigating topics where local research
was most needed.
