A Project of the fRI Research Healthy Landscapes Program
Landscapes in Motion is a project that moves fast. Stay tuned for News, Events, and Updates.
Our field teams collect a massive amount of data from mountaintops and forests across the Eastern slopes of the Rockies. Because our team has the good fortune of such a big dataset, we can ask questions at a broader scale than a lot of other projects - we are even starting to predict what the future of these landscapes might look like.

Read MoreThe landscapes of the southern Rockies of Alberta have a long and complex natural and cultural history. Prominent in that history is the role of forest fires. Fire has been, and remains today, a necessary and critical part of the long-term health and sustainability of these landscapes. The goal of this project is to advance our understanding of how, where, and when historical wildfires occur, and the implications of those dynamics.
