Thesis:

Post-Fire Pulses of Aquatic Production: Investigating the Midterm Effects of High-Severity Fire on Headwater Streams in Northwestern California

Emily's graduate research seeks to understand the mechanisms underlying aquatic community changes caused by riparian fire 5-10 years following a fire. Her study will assess both aquatic macroinvertebrate communities and periphyton production in the headwaters of the mid-Klamath region that were burned in the 2008 Klamath Theater Complex fire.
