Current Projects​
  • Quantifying the effects of post-fire decision-making on forest recovery in a severely burned southwestern landscape
  • Quantifying the carbon costs and benefits of maintaining fuel treatment effectiveness
  • Quantifying the effects of species range shifts and management of post-fire recovery on regional carbon dynamics in a changing climate

Past Projects
  • Changes in forest vegetation and fuel conditions 15 years after prescribed fire
  • Projecting climate change mitigation and adaptation in fire-prone forests
  • Summer temperature variability, drought and the Atlas cedar: a tree-ring δ13C study
  • Modeling the carbon implications of ecologically-based forest management
  • Fuels treatment effects on carbon stocks and insect induced mortality 10-years after treatments
  • Quantifying the effects of fuel size on charcoal formation during prescribed fire
  • Modeling the influence of management actions on fire risk and spread under future climatic conditions
  • Outcomes prioritization on fuel treatment placement in extreme fire weather within three CFLRP landscapes across the US
