Centre for Wildfire Coexistence, UBC-Vancouver
As the in augural Koerner Chair in Wildfire Coexistence at the University of British Columbia, Lori and their research team investigate the impacts of wildfire, forest dynamics, and social-ecological resilience to climate change across the diverse landscapes of British Columbia. Enduring partnerships with community forests, First Nations, multiple levels of government, environmental organizations, forest management companies, ensure their scientific advances are translated to conservation, restoration and proactive management.
