Publication: Biomass offsets little or none of permafrost carbon release from soils, streams, and wildfire: an expert assessment suggest the permafrost region will become a carbon source to the atmosphere by 2100 regardless of warming scenario but that 65%–85% of permafrost carbon release can still be avoided if human emissions are actively reduced.

Publication: Does chronic nitrogen deposition during biomass growth affect atmospheric emissions from biomass burning? shows that there is a measurable and systematic compositional difference between aerosols generated by the burning of clean and polluted fuels.

Publication: Prescribed fire does not promote outbreaks of a primary bark beetle at low-density populations emphasizes the importance of examining long-term trends in fire–bark beetle interactions, and of understanding low-density beetle populations.

Research Brief: Communication Under Fire: Communication Efficacy During Wildfire Incidents analyzed the influence of pre-incident familiarity, stakeholder affiliation, and primary wildfire response/functional role on communication frequency and efficacy during three western US wildfires on US Forest Service land.

New Video: 2016 PIO Vidcast: Your Home in Fire Environment talks about how homeowners can create survivable space to improve the chance their home can survive a wildfire.
