The Fire and Environmental Research Applications Team (FERA) informs management of natural resources through research and development in fuels and combustion science, fire and landscape ecology, and integration of the physical and ecological sciences.
FERA anchors the Pacific Wildland Fire Sciences Laboratory in the Fremont Neighborhood of Seattle. FERA has approximately 20 team members, roughly half employed by Forest Service Research and half by the University of Washington. Close collaboration between these two institutions provides multiple perspectives on research objectives, and the opportunity to work with diverse team members with up-to-date subject-matter and technical expertise.
