DOI: 10.1007/s10640-018-0286-0
Abstract: Often, factors that determine the risk of an environmental hazard occur at landscape scales, and risk mitigation requires action by multiple private property owners. How property owners respond to risk mitigation on neighboring lands depends… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11069-024-06702-1
Abstract: Formal requirements of wildfire mitigation on private properties are increasingly being considered as one avenue for “scaling up” wildfire management and voluntary mitigation actions to landscape scales. Likewise, enduring segments of wildfire research suggest that… read more here.
