New paper in Landscape Ecology from Will Downing showing influence of fire refugia on post-fire forest recovery in Oregon's Blue Mountains

New paper: Influence of fire refugia spatial pattern on post-fire forest recovery in Oregon's Blue Mountains

Our Early Seral Biodiversity project in SW Oregon is up and running: looking forward to terrific 2019 field season led by PhD student Graham Frank

Fire Refugia in the NYT: Carl Zimmer "Lifeboats amid the world's wildfires" covers our research and recent pub on fire refugia

Yeah fire refugia. August 2018 | NWCASC funding for our PNW fire refugia work. Nicely done Garrett Meigs, leading the charge on this proposal!

Congratulations Kurt Frei! August 2018 | Kurt defended his MSc at SFU on streamwood recruitment after wildfire in beetle-affected forests of central BC.

Congratulations Will Downing! June 2018 | Will defended his MS thesis on fire refugia in Oregon's Blue Mountains.

New PhD position open in the lab June/Fall 2018: Early seral forest biodiversity
