The goal of this research is to advance understanding and ability to forecast
the effects of wildfires on California’s coastal resources and train the next
generation of diverse NASA innovators. This work is funded as a collaboration
between NASA’s Ocean Biology and Biogeochemistry (OCEAN) research and NASA’s
Minority University Research and Education Project (MUREP) education objectives.

<h1>
RESEARCH:
</h1>
<p>KelpFire assesses the effects of wildfire-driven disturbances of carbon and
sediment on
kelp forests in the California Current System. Remote sensing and in situ
observations are coupled with models of watershed exports of sediment and
nutrients to the coastal ocean. This multi-disciplinary research will focus on
several wildfire impacted watersheds along the California coast. </p>

<!-- <p>The anticipated outcomes of this research are: </p> -->
<h1>Outcomes</h1>
<ul class="seed-grant">
<li>
Improved understanding of the effect of wildfires on carbon transport
from
coastal watersheds,
</li>
<li>
Information on spatial and temporal patterns of kelp forest change
related
to sediment & carbon flux,
</li>
<li>
New tools to support modelling of carbon flux through coastal aquatic
zone
and global carbon cycling.
</li>
</ul>

<h1>EDUCATION</h1>
<p>KelpFire is developing a diverse future NASA workforce by embedding
undergraduate students into our research through research fellowships,
strong mentoring in NASA-unique research activities, and Jet Propulsion
Laboratory (JPL) internships. Students in our program are:</p>
<!-- <ul class="seed-grant"> -->
<ul style="padding-left:45%; list-style-type: disc;">
<li>
Contributing to NASA's science mission,
</li>
<li>
Engaging with NASA's content, people, and facilities,
</li>
<li>
Gaining an increased sense of belonging and self-efficacy,
</li>
<li>
Increasing their interest in a research career.
</li>
