In this 3-part modeling miniseries, we will took a wide-ranging look at State-and-Transition-Simulation-Models (STSMs) and the LANDFIRE BpS models. We communicated practical ways to use STSM in real-life research, management and academia.
Part 1: Kori Blankenship, Fire Ecologist, The Nature Conservancy
Part 2: Leonardo Frid, System Ecologist, Apex Resource Management Solutions
Part 3: Randy Swaty, Ecologist, The Nature Conservancy & Dr. Priscilla Nyamai, Assistant Professor, Grand Valley State University
Sponsored by: International Association of Landscape Ecologists, Apex RMS
Get in touch on the Resources page. We are looking to integrate LANDFIRE powered modeling in the college classroom.
Apex RMS is offering a free, two-day self-directed online course that will provide:
“…a foundation for developing and running state-and-transition simulation models of landscape change using the free ST-Sim software. The course covers state-and-transition simulation modeling concepts, how to use ST-Sim to create models of landscape change and terrestrial carbon dynamics, and how to run the models and interpret the results.”
