IAWF Seeks Nominations for its Ember Award
The International Association of Wildland Fire (IAWF) is accepting nominations for its Ember Award for Excellence in Wildland Fire Science. The purpose of the Ember Award is to recognize sustained excellence in international wildland fire research and to encourage innovation, exploration, application and dissemination of important research results.
The name "Ember" reflects the fact that research and science often move slowly, and their benefits or impacts may not be apparent for years. The award recognizes sustained and excellent research contributions to wildland fire science, innovative solutions to important wildland fire challenges, and effective and appropriate communication of wildland fire science and research results.
The award will be presented during the 3rd Human Dimensions of Wildland Fire Conference in Seattle, April 17-19, 2012. For more information or to nominate an individual, visit http://www.iawfonline.org/awards.php. The deadline for nominations is Jan. 31, 2012.
