I am a professor and my research is focused on fire - both wildfire and prescribed fire. I use tree rings to uncover mysteries about past environments. Fire scars in tree rings reveal the years and even seasonal timing of past fires. These records of fire often go back several hundred years, long before modern record keeping. I am also interested in forest recovery after wildfire and how climate change is shaping that recovery. I am certified to conduct prescribed fire and have basic wildland firefighter training.
I love fire! <3
Proof: Here's my proof!
Edit (1:50PM ET): Wow, I had only planned to be here until 1:00PM ET but it's been so fun answering all of your great questions that I had to keep going! It is actually time to hop off of here for now, though. I might have time later to return to some questions that I missed.
Thank you to everyone that joined today, and for all your great questions about fire ecology, dendrochronology, and wildland fire! If this has sparked your curiosity, and you have more questions, visit my website, (https://sites.google.com/view/monicarother/home), the Southern Fire Exchange (https://southernfireexchange.org), or any of the Joint Fire Science Program supported nationwide Fire Science Exchange Networks (https://www.firescience.gov/JFSP_exchanges.cfm).

Tell me about this study(I mean what did you actually learnt and what they teaches under this title) Does this subject related to global warming? How can I study this subject(if I wish sometime)
