The Leverhulme Centre for Wildfires, Environment and Society seeks to understand what factors govern wildfire regimes, including the sources, frequency, intensity, timing, and spatial pattern of fire.
The Centre is a collaboration between University of Reading, Imperial College London, Kings College London, Royal Holloway University of London and the Leverhulme Trust.
LEMONTREE PI’s Prof Sandy Harrison and Prof Colin Prentice are Associate Director and Director (respectively) of Leverhulme Centre for Wildfires, Environment and Society.

CONCERTO (Improved CarbOn cycle represeNtation through multi-sCale models and Earth obseRvation for Terrestrial ecOsystems) project aims to create an innovative scientific framework that enhances our understanding, monitoring and modelling of the land carbon cycle (CC). It will involve LEMONTREE partners University of Reading, Imperial College and the ECMWF. The project will run for four years and is currently under contract preparation.
IMFIREDUP (Improved Modelling of FIRE: Development, Understanding and Prediction) is a global consortium involving the Fire-Vegetation Interactions working group of LEMONTREE. The consortium aims to develop the next generation of fire-vegetation models.
