The True Costs of Wildfire & The Douglas Complex
by Dr. Bob Zybach and John Marker
REFERENCE: Zybach, Bob and John Marker 2013. "The True Costs of Wildfire & The Douglas Complex,"Oregon Fish & Wildlife Journal, Vol. 35, No. 4: 31-37. [PDF_2_MB].
Sadly, John died less than two years after this was published. It is based on both current events at that time, Fall 2013, as well as work John and I had done in collaboration with Mike Dubrasich, Greg Brenner, and John Thomas three years earlier, in 2009: the "U.S. Wildfire Cost-Plus-Loss Economics Project" (http://wildfire-economics.org). Those familiar with John's life and career realize what we have lost in a tireless and accomplished champion for the improved management of our nation's forest resources -- and maybe particularly in areas related to management of water and of wildfires.
