His primary field of research was ecological genetics and data analysis."The ecology of fire is a huge, complex web of interconnected elements. I will present, in approximately one microcentury, a small slice of that web that focuses on the time- and space- dependent patterns of forest fires in the U.S. and Australia, the unappreciated positive roles that fire has played in both countries, some examples of forest tree evolutionary adaptations to fire, some global perspectives of forest fires. and how we can improve on our forest fire policies."BA is a non-profit 501 (c) (3) Nonprofit Corporation and relies on membership dues to support the infrastructure required for these events.
