In Dr. Hugh Safford's lab at UC Davis we are looking to hire new members for different seasonal field crews to collect data on vegetation, forest fuels, and prescribed fire monitoring. For the 2024 season we have planned 4 field teams.
The California Prescribed Fire Monitoring Program (CPFMP) is a collaboration between CALFIRE and the University of California, Davis to develop a long-term monitoring program to measure prescribed fire effects on fuels, botany, forest structure, carbon storage, and the resultant impacts to air quality. Permanent monitoring plots are established in a variety of ecosystems where fire is applied to meet a range of management objectives. Field crews collect pre- and post-fire data to pair with fire behavior and weather observations made during the burn.
