Investigating the relationship between stakeholder opinion about wildfire management and landscape context using GIS [PDF]
, 2006 Colorado residents living in the wildland urban interface (WUI) were asked about their perception of wildfire risk and their willingness-to-pay (WTP) for three fire management procedures: fuel reduction by thinning, fire suppression and prescribed fires.

Charcoal evidence that rising atmospheric oxygen terminated Early Jurassic ocean anoxia
Nature Communications, 2017 Numerical models predict that during an oceanic anoxic event (OAE), increased organic carbon burial drives a rise in atmospheric oxygen leading to the event’s termination. Here, the authors present evidence suggesting that the Toarcian OAE was terminated

Perceptions of Exposure and Mask Use in Wildland Firefighters
ToxicsWildland firefighters are exposed to airborne particulates, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and other hazardous substances. Respiratory protection is indicated, but information is lacking on the tasks and conditions for which mask wearing should
