Nicole Lau

As a M.S. student at UC Berkeley’s Energy and Resources Group, Nicole is interested in researching how climate change is affecting the way disturbances (wildfires, bark beetles…) interact with Western U.S. forests. On a more applied level, she is hoping to use this knowledge to help managers make informed decisions for the future.

Originally raised in Hong Kong, Nicole is a recent transplant from the Pacific Northwest, where she earned a B.S. in Environmental Science Terrestrial Resource Management at the University of Washington. She has done field work all around Washington State, in Colorado, and in California. When she’s not measuring crispy trees, you can find her at an indie pop concert or at a pub pretending to be good at trivia.
