Before attending a conference in Santa Barbara, California, Matt took a day to visit Jessica and Ilkay at UCSD and discuss the RISER/WiFIRE collaboration (right). A range of increasingly active collaborations were discussed, including work together using Kepler (such as the firefront tracking reported this update) and redeploying some RISERnet nodes in California. Although only a short trip, the discussions were very productive and continue to keep RISER and WiFIRE closely aligned.
