About the Editors-in-Chief

Susan G. Conard holds a BA in environmental studies from Antioch College and MS and PhD degrees in ecology from the University of California, Davis. She worked as a fire researcher and research project leader with the US Forest Service from 1983 to 1996. From 1996 through 2008 she was the Forest Service National Program Leader for Fire Ecology Research. She currently holds an Affiliate Faculty position at George Mason University and is an Emeritus Ecologist with the Forest Service Rocky Mountain Research Station. Her research has focused on integration across scales and disciplines, fire regimes and fire effects, fire behavior, application of remote sensing, and interactions of fire with climate with an emphasis on the boreal forests of Siberia.

Stefan Doerr holds a Diplom (MSc) in Geography (with Botany and Geology) from Universität Tübingen (Germany). His PhD (Swansea University, UK) was on the effects of forest fires on hydrological processes. He has investigated the environmental impacts of wildfires in Europe, Australia, and North America. He is currently Professor of Physical Geography at Swansea and has held recent collaborative research positions at the CSIRO in Canberra (Australia), Universitat de València (Spain) and the US Geological Survey (Denver, USA), which focused on the relationships between fire severity, fire frequency and post-fire responses of burned terrain.

Martin P. Girardin holds BA and MS degrees in biological studies from the Université du Québec à Montréal and a PhD in botany from the University of Manitoba, Canada. Since 2005, he has been a research scientist in forest ecology with the Canadian Forest Service and an Adjunct Professor at the Centre for Forest Research, Université du Québec à Montréal. His research focuses on fire-vegetation-climate interactions, encompassing fire regimes, behaviour, and climate change impacts on boreal forests using paleoecology, dendroecology, climatology, and ecosystem modelling. His integrated data and models provide insights for sustainable forest management and wildfire risk mitigation, fostering global collaborations to address environmental challenges.
