Patterns, drivers, and implications of postfire delayed tree mortality in temperate conifer forests of the western <span>United States</span> Open
Conifer forest resilience may be threatened by increasing wildfire activity and compound disturbances in western North America. Fire refugia enhance forest resilience, yet may decline over time due to delayed mortality—a process that remai…

Smoothed raster of wildfire transmission to buildings in the continental United States and Alaska Open
Recent fire seasons in the continental United States have motivated federal agencies to explore scenarios for augmenting current fuel management and forest restoration in areas where fires ignite and spread to buildings in adjacent communi…

Exploring and Testing Wildfire Risk Decision-Making in the Face of Deep Uncertainty Open
We integrated a mechanistic wildfire simulation system with an agent-based landscape change model to investigate the feedbacks among climate change, population growth, development, landowner decision-making, vegetative succession, and wild…

Wildfire risk governance from the bottom up: linking local planning processes in fragmented landscapes Open
The growing scale of natural hazards highlights the need for models of governance capable of addressing risk across administrative boundaries. However, risk governance systems are often fragmented, decentralized, and sustained by informal …

Extreme Winds Alter Influence of Fuels and Topography on Megafire Burn Severity in Seasonal Temperate Rainforests under Record Fuel Aridity Open
Nearly 0.8 million hectares of land were burned in the North American Pacific Northwest (PNW) over two weeks under record-breaking fuel aridity and winds during the extraordinary 2020 fire season, representing a rare example of megafires i…

Engagement in local and collaborative wildfire risk mitigation planning across the western U.S.—Evaluating participation and diversity in Community Wildfire Protection Plans Open
Since their introduction two decades ago, Community Wildfire Protection Plans (CWPPs) have become a common planning tool for improving community preparedness and risk mitigation in fire-prone regions, and for strengthening coordination amo…

Extreme Winds Flip Influence of Fuels and Topography on Megafire Burn Severity in Mesic Conifer Forests Under Record Fuel Aridity Open
The coupling of unusually hot and dry weather have led to global increases in the occurrence of megafires. Despite the conventional wisdom that extreme heat and aridity overwhelm the controls on burn severity patterns (i.e., vegetation mor…

Using transboundary wildfire exposure assessments to improve fire management programs: a case study in Greece Open
Numerous catastrophic wildfires in Greece have demonstrated that relying on fire suppression as the primary risk-management strategy is inadequate and that existing wildfire-risk governance needs to be re-examined. In this research, we use…
