During the 1970s and 1980s emphasis shifted to the study of fire
ecology at Crater Lake National Park. Much of this work was done cooperatively
through partnerships with Oregon State University and the University of
Washington. Forest ecologists looked at fire regimes and wondered if it was
possible to return portions of the Park landscape to pre-settlement vegetation
patterns.
