Marion Lacand

I am a paleoecologist interested in the impact of disturbances on ecosystems facing global changes. My research focuses on the effect of fire on forest dynamics under climate variations and human activities. During my PhD, I examined fire patterns over the Holocene (~last 11,000 years) in Fennoscandian boreal forest systems. I explored the correlation between fire regimes, climate variations, and land use. Currently, I am part of a collaborative project with the University of New Mexico, Sandia National Lab, and NCAR, focusing on the impact of wildfires on solar energy production and I am simulating forest and fire dynamics on the Gila National Forest in support of this collaborative project.
