So grateful for the amazing members of the Francis lab, @colinmast.bsky.social @lilianvallet.bsky.social, Ashley Zwick and Subham Banerjee (not pictured here)! So much creativity, quantitative thinking, and geospatial fire science data wizardry. Working with these folks is the best.

Excited to share my MS research! We used the LANDIS-II model to explore how landscape planning can balance wood demand, biodiversity, and carbon storage in a changing climate. Huge thanks to @mattbetts42.bsky.social, @melissalucash.bsky.social, and Neil Williams for all their help along the way!

Great article on a well-taught course by @jameslamping.bsky.social. The course gave students hands-on experience, not only with drones, but also with geographic analysis and research design. Working with James and students from a wide range of majors (geography, ENVS, journalism, etc.) was a blast!

IURFO field excursion day! Today we traveled to Tyresta National Park, meeting with forest managers and fire ecologists to learn more about: Fire Dynamics and Disturbances in Past and Present Forest Landscapes.
