Using cores taken from the sediments of Bear Lake, scientists compared the fire and vegetative history of the area with radiocarbon dates of the various strata.

Cross-boundary fires are not uncommon1 and highlight the need for interagency collaboration to effectively plan for and manage wildland fires. Identifying mutually beneficial fuels treatment locations requires collaboration between Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP), partner agencies, and stakeholders. To aid in this collaboration, RMNP recently developed a Fire Web Application.
