The purpose of this position is to contribute to fire management and ecological stewardship efforts via streamlining and organization of data processing and analyses routines related to fuels treatment monitoring in several of Alaska’s National Parks.

This position will help the Alaska Region Fire Ecology Program turn a difficult-to-use legacy dataset into a practical resource for current fire ecology, fuels, and adaptation projects. By organizing paired plot records, identifying reburned and pre/post-fire locations, and evaluating where legacy data can inform vegetation and fuels mapping, the SIPs will help staff better understand how post-fire ecosystems are responding under changing environmental conditions.
