Our research is focused on understanding the dynamics of fire regimes at relatively broad scales, and our extension work involves applying this information to ecosystem management. Students and staff in the lab work and publish on a wide variety of projects related to fire and are involved in both field and lab analyses, including the application of spatial approaches to understanding natural disturbances. Max Moritz recently moved to the University of California at Santa Barbara.
The Kinkade fire is sounding alarm bells that cannot be ignored – that California is failing to keep up with what we know about fire hazard and risk
