“This is going to be transformative for our faculty and students in terms of what we can accomplish,” said Clements. “And the members will benefit because they will get access to research results before anyone else. Our students will get to interact with industry and government members, and members get to interact with our talent pool.”

The ground breaking, multi-disciplinary collaboration of faculty from different scientific specialties is an exciting new development in the ongoing search for better ways to understand and manage wildfires.

Department of Meteorology and Climate Science Chair, Dr. Craig Clements hosted Senator Feinstein staffers from Washington DC and San Francisco on a tour of the new Interdisciplinary Science Building. Senator Feinstein is a valuable ally supporting the Wildfire Interdisciplinary Research Center.
