DOI: 10.1016/j.landusepol.2019.104394
Abstract: Abstract Regulation of building standards and residential development practices in the wildland-urban interface (WUI) is increasingly advocated as a possible avenue for wildfire risk reduction. However, many documented instances of successful wildfire adaptation occur in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2022gl101557
Abstract: On 30 December 2021, the Marshall Fire devastated the Boulder, Colorado region. The fire initiated in fine fuels in open space just southeast of Boulder and spread rapidly due to the strong, downslope winds that… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/jofore/fvaa042
Abstract: This article identifies specific social characteristics in two wildland urban interface communities that may have significant impacts on the ability of those communities to adapt to wildfire. Researchers used a mixed-methods approach to triangulate results… read more here.

DOI: 10.1177/07349041221081998
Abstract: Firebrand (ember) attack has been shown to be one of the key mechanisms of wildfire spread into wildland–urban interface communities. After the firebrands land on a substrate material, the ignition propensity of the material depends… read more here.
