"Crash and Burn: Interactions between forest disturbance from wind and fire"

Jeff Cannon presents this exit seminar. His research interests include:

unraveling the complex ways in which common forest disturbances (such as wind damage and fire) can interactively influence forest regeneration. Currently, my research focuses on how wind damage can alter the amount and type of forest fuels which can lead to dramatic changes in fire behavior. I am also monitoring whether the combination of wind and fire disturbances can alter the path of forest recovery.
