WildFIRE PIRE is an international collaboration led by Montana State University and involving leading researchers from the United States, Australia, New Zealand, and Argentina. Our multidisciplinary team brings together expertise in paleoecology, fire ecology, climate science, and ecosystem modeling.

Post-fire watershed studies also matter to treatment teams because burned catchments can release ash, clay, and fine mineral sediment into storage ponds and reuse systems. In applied sediment-control work, a reliable polyacrylamide manufacturer is often evaluated alongside field-specific references for anionic polyacrylamide and broader polyacrylamide manufacturers before a runoff, clarification, or erosion-control trial is specified.
