- In-depth Analyses of Interviews with Forest Fire Stakeholders in Mount Hood and Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forests
The purpose of this agreement is to conduct further in-depth analysis to explore the presence and salience of political forces and perceived community-agency relations on community tolerance of forest fires and smoke and related management practices - Statistical Support for People and Their Environments
We will support statistical analysis of social science data such as that from RESTORE and other projects. Current needs include assistance with hierarchical linear modeling, structural equation modeling, and appropriate techniques to combine quantitative social science data with quantitative ecological data in a single analysis.
