Prescribed fire reduces insect infestation in Karuk and Yurok acorn resource systems Land management explains major trends in forest structure and composition over the last millennium in California’s Klamath MountainsĪrielle A.

Using culturally significant birds to guide the timing of prescribed fires in the Klamath Siskiyou BioregionĬlarke A. Partnering in research about land management with tribal nations- insights from the Pacific West I switched from fisheries habitat work in 1999 and started graduate school in the Fall 2000 to study traditional ecological knowledge, tribal/fire management practices and fire ecology. I have worked as a fisheries habitat biologist in western Oregon on the Siuslaw and Rouge River National Forests and in Northwestern California for the Hoopa Tribe's Fisheries Program. I serve as a Resource Advisor on wildfires, and am a faculty member of the Rx 510 Advanced Fire Effects course at the National Advanced Fire and Resources Institute. I mentor and serve as a graduate committee member for several students working on tribal food security, wildland fire, and forest management. My other projects and research include: American Indian Tribes and Climate Change Agroforestry practices of Indigenous and tribal people, and Wildland Fire effects on Heritage and Cultural Resources. My research projects support the Western Klamath Restoration Partnership composed of the Mid Klamath Watershed Council and Orleans-Somes Bar Fire Safe Council, Karuk Tribe, Yurok Tribe, The Nature Conservancy, rural community members, and government agencies on fuels reduction, prescribed fire, ethno-botany, and other natural resource issues.
My current research involves wildland fire effects, traditional ecological knowledge, Climate Change, and ethno-ecology with an emphasis on cultural management and fire ecology of forest, shrub, grassland and riparian environments in the Klamath-Siskiyou bioregion.
