Fire and Environmental Research Applications Team

Maureen Kennedy

Maureen is a quantitative ecologist. Her current research project at FERA is improving the process of classifying fuels and quantifying fuel loads in the FCCS using the best available data including satellite imagery. She has also produced a neutral model for fire history to evaluate the use of spatial distributions of scarred trees to infer historical fire regimes.

Maureen's general research interest is the improvement of the use of models in ecological research, with an emphasis on the use of multi-objective optimization and Pareto optimality.

Support for her work with FERA comes from the NASA-funded project, "Development of Decision Products for Spatial Quantification of Carbon Emissions from Wildfire for North America."
