We are an interdisciplinary group dedicated to transformative research on modern environmental challenges with widespread societal implications, including megafires and forest dieback. Through our work, we aim to enact meaningful change in forest management and governance through collaborations with Indigenous and local communities, government agencies, and the forest industry. Our research is situated around five key themes, including global megafires, community wildfire preparedness, disrupted historical fire regimes, Indigenous stewardship, and forest dynamics. We have active research projects in British Columbia and Alberta, Canada and in Patagonia, Argentina.

We are passionate, curious, and mindful individuals with diverse capacities in dendrochronology (tree-ring science), qualitative social sciences, statistics and big data management, modelling, ecology and earth systems sciences and digital arts. We are also advocates and activists who promote collaborative research, are open to diverse ways of knowing and thinking, and value education, mentorship, and outreach. We are committed to ecological and relational justice, enhancing diversity and equity in forest sciences, and improving the health of nature and society.
