Research interests

Judith is a PhD candidate at CERIDES and associated with the PyroLife ITN, a global research and training network on integrated wildfire management funded by the European Commission. In her research, she foregrounds questions of governance to understand local wildfire risk and impact as a symptom of global social and environmental change. Outcomes of this work could help rethinking wildfire decision-making processes, mainly through joint responsibility and collaborative, adaptive and anticipatory approaches. Judith’s interest in fire as a socio-ecological process in the landscape got sparked during her Masters in Earth Sciences at the University of Amsterdam, with a thesis about palaeofire – the fascinating role of fire in Earth history.
