Erika is an MS student in Watershed Science interested in the hydrologic effects of wildfire on mountainous watersheds. Her research focuses on the effects of fire on snowpack and, examining whether these effects impact the energy budget in post-fire landscapes.  

Project manager for Stream Tracker (streamtracker.org), focusing on program outreach and recruitment, as well as developing and maintaining the community and streamflow sensor monitoring networks. Broad research interests include streamflow intermittence in Rocky Mountain headwater catchments and community engagement in watershed stewardship.

Clara is a PhD student in the Graduate Degree Program in Ecology.  She is interested in the development of science-based land use planning and policy approaches, with the aim of maintaining ecosystem services integrity and improving human well-being in the wildland-urban interface. Her research focuses on the effects of residential growth and climate change on forest loss, wildfire risk, and water provision and quality.

Megan is a PhD student in Watershed Science studying the hydrologic effects of wildfire across an elevation gradient. Using a network of weather stations and streamflow monitoring equipment, manual snow measurements, and remote sensing, she will examine how fire affects both snowpack and streamflow generation and whether these effects change over time.  

Mikaela is an MS candidate in Watershed Science interested in water quality impacts associated with wildfire events. Her work will be focusing on water quality effects in response to the use of mulch as a post-fire mitigation effort for the Cameron Peak Fire.

David is finishing up his MS in Watershed Science. His research examines the effectiveness of a post-fire stream restoration project.

Kampf is Professor of Watershed Science at Colorado State University.
