Kaili Brande

Kaili received her B.S. in Environmental Science and Management from the University of California, Davis. After working at Crater Lake National Park and in Sacramento, California as an environmental consultant, she pursued a Ph.D. from the Bren School of Environmental Science & Management at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Her dissertation focused on fire ecology and the effects of prescribed fire as a forest management tool in the California foothill oak woodland systems. Her research interests broadly lie in landscape ecology and fire ecology, and how we can better understand the interactions between landscape heterogeneity, fire, and climate to improve ecosystem management in the U.S. West.

Kaili is currently a postdoctoral scholar with the TEEL Lab, working on the Joint Fire Sciences Program SageSTEP project with collaborators at Oregon State University and USDA ARS to assess the efficacy of fuel treatments in restoring sagebrush steppe ecosystems in the Great Basin.
