Research Interests

In the Cattau lab, Savannah mentors a team of undergraduate students in analyzing wildfire dynamics from a social-ecological perspective. She uses geospatial techniques on large scale datasets to develop a multilayered understanding of the drivers and exposure to fire hazards in the Snake River Plan.

Savannah is interested in researching: disturbance ecology, ecosystem restoration, wildlife conservation, decision-making, population ecology, veterinary medicine, animal behavior and animal physiology and nutrition.
