McConnell Examines Post-wildfire Neighborhood Change Following the 2018 Camp Fire
Posted: 4/3/2024 (CSDE Research)
CSDE Affiliate Kathryn McConnell (Brown University) co-authored a new article in Landscape and Urban Planning, titled “Post-wildfire neighborhood change: Evidence from the 2018 Camp Fire“. As the number of highly destructive wildfires grows, it is increasingly important to understand the long-term changes that occur to fire-affected places. Integrating approaches from social and biophysical science, authors document two forms of neighborhood change following the 2018 Camp Fire in the United States, examining the more than 17,000 residential structures within the burn footprint.
