Congratulations to ARE Assistant Professor Jamie Hansen-Lewis who was selected as one of the UC Davis Institute of the Environment’s 2023 Environmental Faculty Fellows.

Fellows are early and mid-career faculty who receive $10,000 of unrestricted funding from the Institute to advance their research and/or to use for professional development. They are encouraged to build teams with graduate Earth Scholars and/or undergraduate Sustainability Scholars to provide immersive, hands-on experiences in cutting-edge sustainability and environmental justice issues while developing leadership, team building, and communication skills.

Hansen-Lewis’ project “Fighting Fire with Fire: Does Clean Air Policy Abate Prescribed Fires?” seeks to build the first national database of historic prescribed fires and determine the effect of air quality regulation on the prevalence of prescribed burning. The project will contribute significantly to the Institute’s Building Resilience pillar.
