Governance of wildland fire decision support tools
Wildfire management organizations expand their use of decision support tools (DSTs) in decision-making, yet DST effectiveness depends not only on their analytical capabilities but how they fit within institutional, cultural, and policy contexts. One such tool, the Risk Management Assistance (RMA) Dashboard was designed to support risk-informed strategy development for wildfire incidents. While prior research has focused primarily on end-users, fa…
Economic costs of U.S. wildfires
Wildfires in the U.S. are increasing in size, severity, and frequency, leading to a wildfire crisis where at-risk communities are experiencing rapidly escalating wildfire damages. The wildfire crisis necessitates adapting to evolving natural disasters and implementing efforts to mitigate the economic costs of wildfire. Better understanding of the type and magnitude of economic costs, along with trends over time, can provide valuable information f…
Understanding household experiences with flooding in post-fire environments
Return on investments in restoration and fuel treatments in frequent-fire forests of the American west
Arid forests in the American West contend with overly dense stands and a need to reduce fuels and restore more natural fire regimes. Forest restoration efforts include fuel treatments, such as thinning and prescribed burning, that can reduce ground and ladder fuels. Restoration and fuel treatments have emerged as leading wildfire risk-reduction strategies in the American West, yet little is known about the cost-effectiveness of such programs. To …
Making the Transition from Science Delivery to Knowledge Coproduction in Boundary Spanning
Boundary organizations facilitate two-way, sustained interaction and communication between research and practitioner spheres, deliver existing science, and develop new, actionable scientific information to address emerging social–ecological questions applicable to decision-making. There is an increasing emphasis on the role of boundary organizations in facilitating knowledge coproduction, which is collaborative research with end users to develop …
