About the lab
The Moritz Lab is part of the Department of Environmental Science, Policy, and Management in the College of Natural Resources at the University of California, Berkeley.

Our research is focused on understanding the dynamics of fire regimes at relatively broad scales, and our outreach work involves applying this information to ecosystem management. Students and staff in the lab work and publish on a wide variety of projects related to fire, and are involved in both field and lab analyses, including the application of spatial approaches to understanding disturbances. Dr. Moritz has taught many courses, including physical geography and climatology, and currently co-leads the fire seminar at Berkeley. He is also co-director of the recently established Center for Fire Research and Outreach.
