معرفی
Melissa Lucash is a Research Assistant Professor in the Department of Geography at the University of Oregon's College of Arts and Sciences. Her work focuses on landscape ecology, forest ecology, and climate change impacts on wildfire regimes through spatial modeling.
- Ph.D., SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry
- M.S., Oregon State University
- B.S., SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry
Research Interests
Dr. Lucash's research spans landscape ecology, forest dynamics, and climate change mitigation, with emphasis on
- Wildfire behavior under warming scenarios
- Albedo shifts in boreal ecosystems
- 3D virtual reality for forest education
- Fire regime modeling in Siberian and Alaskan forests
Publication Trends
Her recent work demonstrates a focus on climate-fire-vegetation feedbacks, ecosystem modeling, and data-driven visualization tools. Key themes include carbon budget analysis, post-fire recovery mechanisms, and adaptive forest management.
Students & Collaborations
Doctoral candidate James Lamping collaborates with Dr. Lucash in the TEEL lab, developing new modules for landscape-scale ecosystem models like LANDIS-II to improve wildfire and storm impact simulations.
