Center's Associate Director garners media attention
(July 2007) Assistant Professor Phil Dennison, who also serves as the
Associate Director of the Center for Natural and Technological Hazards,
has developed a new tool for
predicting when vegetation will dry to the point when it is most
vulnerable to large fires in the Santa Monica Mountains near Los
Angeles. A new study by Dennison and other researchers links fire history
to live fuel moisture levels, and shows that live fuel moisture levels
can be predicted using rainfall.
