Timothy Hatten

Tim Hatten is an ecologist with the US Geological Survey at the USGS Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center in Sioux Falls, SD serving as the USGS Project Manager for The Landscape Fire and Resource Management Planning Tools (LANDFIRE) program.

The primary objective of LANDFIRE, a joint program among the U.S. Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management, the DOI's Office of Wildland Fire, and The Nature Conservancy is to produce data products and tools to help decision-makers clarify problems and identify possible solutions when managing fires and natural resources. LANDFIRE supports the reduction of risk from wildfire to human lives and property, monitoring of fire danger, prediction of fire behavior on active incidents, and assessment of fire severity and impacts on natural systems.

LANDFIRE data and applications

LANDFIRE is a Federal program that provides a suite of spatial datasets indicating areas of disturbance, vegetation and fuels distributions and structure, and historical conditions. The level of detail presented in LANDFIRE’s classifications of disturbance, vegetation, and fuels is unparalleled and can be used in a variety of applications, including (1) modeling wildfire risk and fire behavior, (2
