OSU Experts
As wildfire season begins, OSU experts are available to comment on weather patterns, fire risk and ecological and community response:
Bailey studies the role of forest management in fire-evolved systems, including fire resilience, habitat and restoration. His areas of expertise include:
- Fuels management for fire risk reduction
- Wildland fire ecology
- Prescribed fire
Fischer studies fire in the wildland urban interface environment to improve civil infrastructure resilience. She can discuss:
- How building systems and materials behave in fire
- How critical infrastructure (water, hospitals, schools) can be designed for fires in wildland urban interface communities
- Interconnections in impacts and recovery of institutions within a community (e.g. housing and education)
