Rising temperatures will cut the number of days when conditions favor prescribed fires in summer and spring by 17% on average across the western U.S., a study found.
A WSU-led study found that dry lightning strikes caused wildfires in the West when more rain fell than the previous standard of less than 2.5 mm in a day.
A new generation of WSU engineers will learn not only how to build better robots but also how to make them work better with, and for, humans — thanks in part to a $3 million NSF grant.
