Mark Kreider

(he/him/his)

I'm an ecologist and postdoctoral researcher affiliated with the US Forest Service and Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education. My research focuses on understanding the natural role of wildfire, how ecosystems and societies respond to disturbance, and how to make public lands accessible to all. I'm passionate about linking art and science to communicate my work in accessible and engaging ways. Learn more at https://www.markkreider.com/
