Pursuit: Linked socio-environmental responses to destructive wildfire: Are wildfires ‘hot moments’ for transformative adaptation?

"Linked socio-environmental responses to destructive wildfire: Are wildfires ‘hot moments’ for transformative adaptation?"

This Pursuit will convene an interdisciplinary team of researchers, in social and natural sciences, and examine national-level data sets to: (1) Assess social response to wildfire and possible adaptation or entrenchment through an inventory of housing change (rebuilding, sales, newdevelopment, land subdivision); (2) Investigate howsocial and ecological settings and impactsinfluence housing change post-fire; and (3) At the household scale, determine how housing change relates to the post-wildfire ecological setting and risk landscape, determining adaptation or entrenchment.
