Research Description
Scott Stephens is interested in the interactions of wildland fire and ecosystems. This includes how prehistoric fires once interacted with ecosystems, how current wildland fires are affecting ecosystems, and how future fires, changing climates, and management may change this interaction.? He is also interested in forest and fire policy and how it can be improved to meet the challenges of the next decades, both in the US and internationally.
