new paper in PNAS

Our study about the impact of land-use changes - such as the mission establishment, the Gold Rush, and Smokey the Bear - on past wildfire regimes in the Sierra Nevada in California was published in PNAS today.  This was the result of a collaboration with Alan Taylor (PSU), Carl Skinner, and Scott Stephens.  The work was funded by the Joint Fire Science Program and the USGS Southwest Climate Science Center, amongst others.  UANews wrote a press release about it.
