Dr. Tyler Hoecker

Landscape Fire Ecologist
Tyler is a landscape ecologist focused on understanding the drivers of forest ecosystem change – especially fire and climate – and identifying opportunities for climate-adaptive stewardship. Tyler’s work has revealed how climate-driven changes in the frequency and severity of wildfires are transforming conifer forests across the Western U.S. today and what we can expect of forests in the future. Tyler holds a M.S. from the University of Montana and a Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Tyler was a Climate Adaptation Postdoctoral Fellow with the University of Washington and the Northwest Climate Adaptation Science Center from 2021-2023 before joining Vibrant Planet and has worked as a field and research ecologist for the last 13 years. Tyler is excited to put cutting-edge quantitative ecology into the hands of land managers and decision makers.
