Drew Bost
Drew is interested in quantifying an unusual ongoing red fir mortality event in the Russian Wildernesss. He is using both field-based and remote sensing data to understand the factors contributing to mortality. As an undergraduate working in our lab, Drew has already worked in the Russian Wilderness for two full summers.

Jenell Jackson
I am interested in whitebark pine populations of the Klamath Region. In particular, I am interested in the role of population size and isolation in the reproductive success of the pine, and how these factors may interact with mortality caused by white pine blister rust and mountain pine beetle.

Erin Alvey
I study the effect of multiple wildfires on plant communities of the northern Sierra Nevada. I also study the influence of wildfires on subsequent fire behavior and effects. This project utilizes the 2012 Chips Fire and is being done in a collaborative effort with the US Forest Service.
