NEPA implementation and trust: linking stakeholder trust to substantive effectiveness in U.S. Forest Service fuels reduction projects
… comments from two U.S. Forest Service (USFS) Fuels Reduction projects in the Boulder Ranger District in Colorado, I assessed stakeholder trust judgements by coding trust types and frequencies. I then used process tracing to examine how stakeholder trust types interact with one another and …

Using Airborne Laser Altimetry to Characterize Surface Fuels in Western Montana
Quantifying surface fuels in forests is problematic for land managers due to the difficulty in measuring fuels of different sizes and spatial variability. Estimating fuel loads is important for identifying departures from historical fire regimes, predicting fire behavior and effects, and …

Octane requirement increase arising from the use of lead free fuel
… are also presented for certain selected fuels. Reduction in CO and HC's with the employment of a three-way catalyst is also discussed. All tests were carried out on a Fiat 127A engine at wide open throttle and standard timing setting. A Froude dynamometer was used to vary engine speed. …

Planning with Fire: Exploring the Barriers & Opportunities Surrounding Wildfire Fuel Reduction at the Wildland Urban Interface
… Pacific Northwest, our research explores fuel reduction as a holistic wildfire mitigation strategy. Using the Methow Valley in Washington State as a case study, we examine the barriers and opportunities surrounding fuel reduction practices at the wildland urban interface (WUI). Development has …
