Melanie\u2019s research focuses on examining forest fire suppression effectiveness, including both ground and aerial suppression, in the Canadian boreal forest. Melanie is specifically using a multi-method approach to explore suppression effectiveness, utilizing a combination of historical fire archive and airtanker mission data from the province of Ontario, paired with field-based experimental burning using remote sensing and infrared imaging technology to examine the effect of the application of water on fire behaviour. Melanie\u2019s research is funded by an NSERC Canada Doctoral Graduate Scholarship. Melanie is passionate about fire management in Canada, having worked eight fire seasons in several different operational and research capacities in Ontario.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-18fe2df elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"18fe2df\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-849b833\" data-id=\"849b833\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f3bf728 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"f3bf728\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-xl\">Recent Publications<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8f7fa2f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8f7fa2f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul><li>Wheatley, M., Wotton, B.
