In Dr. Kane’s Forest Resilience Laboratory, we are forest and fire landscape ecologists who make extensive use of high-fidelity remote sensing data, especially airborne lidar, to enable analyses ranging in scale from stands to landscapes.
Brian’s research is guided largely by the question: “How are forest fires and forest resilience to fire changing as the climate warms?”
His research focuses on understanding the patterns and drivers of forest fires – and how forest structure and function is shaped by fires, interactions among fire and other disturbances (e.g., insect outbreaks), and climate.
