We’re Not Doing Enough Prescribed Fire in the Western United States to Mitigate Wildfire Risk
Fire, 2019 Prescribed fire is one of the most widely advocated management practices for reducing wildfire hazard and has a long and rich tradition rooted in indigenous and local ecological knowledge. The scientific literature has repeatedly reported that prescribed

Optimizing prescribed fire allocation for managing fire risk in central Catalonia. [PDF]
Science of The Total Environment, 2018 We used spatial optimization to allocate and prioritize prescribed fire treatments in the fire-prone Bages County, central Catalonia (northeastern Spain). The goal of this study was to identify suitable strategic locations on forest lands for fuel treatments in order to: 1) disrupt major fire movements, 2) reduce ember emissions, and 3) reduce the ...

Baptism of Fire: Modeling the Effects of Prescribed Fire on Lyme Disease. [PDF]
Can J Infect Dis Med Microbiol, 2022 Recently, tick-borne illnesses have been trending upward and are an increasing source of risk to people’s health in the United States. This is due to range expansion in tick habitats as a result of climate change. Thus, it is imperative to find a practical and cost-efficient way of managing tick populations.
