Saba Saberi

Saba is interested in understanding how forests respond to a changing climate and fire regimes. She is particularly interested in regeneration trajectories along a gradient of burn severity in the Sierra Nevada. More broadly, she is interested in effective science communication and stakeholder engagement in science. Saba obtained her BS in Environmental Science from UC Berkeley, and her MS in Environmental and Forest Science from the University of Washington. Her research there focused on improving models used to quantify burn severity throughout the Interior Pacific Northwest by integrating intensive field measurements and satellite remote sensing indices. Before joining the GGE, she worked as a research scientist at the UW where she assessed forest structural change using digital aerial photogrammetry and lidar.
