Additionally, I use my research to actively involve undergraduate students both inside and outside of the classroom. ![]() The purpose of my research in the Humboldt Wildland Fire Lab and the Humboldt Fire Resilience Institute is to better understand the impacts of fire and other disturbances on wildlands and to provide information that will improve the management, restoration, and conservation of these ecosystems. ![]()
