| |  | | SOUTHWEST RESEARCH PUBLICATIONS Sharing the latest wildfire research relevant to the Southwest. | | Covering publications from August 2023 - February 2024. | | NOTE TO READERS: We’re testing a new service of sharing wildland fire research related to the Southwest. We will develop these periodic science publication newsletters and then curate this list on our website. Also, stay tuned for an annual synthesis of Southwest publications coming out in early 2024!
We categorized articles by topic to make them easier to browse quickly, but we realize many articles cover multiple topics. Open access articles are tagged; if you do not have access to a journal subscription service, you can always contact the authors for a copy of the publication.
Please let us know if we missed a publication, if you enjoy this new service, or if you want to share ideas on how we can make it more useful to you! Contact: Molly McCormick, SWFSC Program Manager at molly.mccormick@nau.edu
