Wildfires are a fact of life in arid and semi-arid regions, such as the American West. With growing population, human communities begin to reside in so-called urban-wildland interface zones, where severe fire driven ecosystems co-exist with humans and their property. This work offers potential solutions from an interdisciplinary perceptive.
