Research
José Ramón González is a researcher ( Ramon y Cajal Fellow) in the Forest Sciences Centre of Catalonia. His research focuses in the study of the risk of fire and its inclusion into forest management planning. For that, he is developing models to assess the susceptibility of different types of forests to fire.The susceptibility of different types of forest to fire is analyzed based on its main components: fire ignition occurrence, fire spread probability, and amount of damage caused by fire once it occurs.
