Research
Don studies the ecological effects of managing for resilience to wildfire in eastern Washington. His first dissertation chapter is focused on long term (15-19 year) fuel dynamics in an experimental fuels treatment site near Leavenworth, Washington. For his second chapter, he is developing a chronosequence of fuels accumulation with time since fuels treatment and wildfire. Later research will focus on how fuels treatment impacts stand structure and wildlife.
