Senior Research Scientist

 

Senior Research Scientist at Conservation Biology Institute

Dr. Alexandra D. Syphard has spent more than 25 years investigating the ecological and social drivers and consequences of global change, particularly focusing on wildfire. She uses spatial analytical, statistical, and modeling methods to investigate how change has occurred in the past, how it is likely to occur in the future, and how different policy or management alternatives can best balance fire risk reduction with biodiversity conservation. Her research also focuses on factors contributing to structure loss, wildfire and social vulnerability, fire-climate relationships, land use change, vegetation dynamics, invasive species, and species’ range shifts.
