Susan Prichard — North Cascades Institute

Dr. Susan Prichard is the lead scientist with the Fire Landscapes Adaptive Management & Ecology (FLAME) lab within the UW School of Environmental and Forest Sciences. Her main interests are in the effects of fire and other disturbances on forest dynamics, climate change on forest ecosystems, and fuel treatment options to mitigate fire severity and smoke impacts in fire-prone forests. She lives full-time in the Methow Valley near Winthrop, Washington. Having lived through record-setting wildfire seasons, she is focused on applied research questions that help to inform adaptive management under climate change.
