Fire


Pepe Iniguez, Landscape Fire Ecologist

- Ph.D., University of Arizona
- USDA Forest Service Scientist
- A landcape fire ecologist studies: How past and present forest fires spread across areas, how the fire impacts the forest (which trees are killed and which trees survive), what trees begin to grow after the first and; how surviving trees and the new vegetation influence how future fires spread.

Sharon Hood, Fire Ecologist

- Ph.D., University of Montana
- USDA Forest Service Scientist
- Fire ecologists study how wildfire changes ecosystems. As a fire ecologist, I study the impacts of removing fire from, or changing how fires burn in, forests which originally had fire.

Laura Hasburgh, Fire Protection Engineer

- Ph.D. (candidate), University of Wisconsin-Madison
- USDA Forest Service Scientist
- Fire protection engineers apply science and engineering principles to protect people, property, and their environments from the harmful and destructive effects of fire and smoke. Specifically, I research the fire performance of wood and wood-based building materials to ensure that a building can be safely designed.
