Description of scientific projects
We use both field studies and modeling to address a range of topics including: forest carbon, wildfire, species diversity, and productivity. Determining how climate change will influence disturbance patterns and species distributions is paramount for informing decision making to help ensure the continued existence of intact, fully functioning forest systems. We are also focused on effectively communicating the results of our research to decision-makers.
