The majority of my research focuses on wildfire management, especially in the Canadian context (although I've also studied wildfire in Australia and the United States). I typically use applied methods, including interviews, surveys, and observation, to better understand how management agencies can improve their knowledge and practices. I'm working on a book on the subject and several papers.

Outside of wildfire, I spend some time thinking about aviation safety, emergency medical services, and catastrophic flooding. I also have a particular passion for research methods and program evaluation, and am eager to partner with emergency- and hazard-related organizations to help them learn about their successes and opportunities for improvement.
