Carrie Levine, PhD, is Executive Director at Spatial Informatics Group (SIG), where she leads interdisciplinary programs in wildfire science, forest and fuels modeling, landscape resilience, and environmental decision support. Her work focuses on developing modeling frameworks and open tools that help agencies and practitioners evaluate management strategies, quantify risk and resilience, and prioritize investments.

Carrie provides scientific and programmatic leadership for Planscape, a free, open-source decision-support platform for landscape-scale forest and wildfire resilience planning. She leads the integration of forest growth, treatment, wildfire, and risk modeling into Planscape and works with federal, state, academic, and nonprofit partners to develop tools that support real-world planning and management.

Carrie also leads wildfire science and modeling efforts for major collaborative projects with the USDA Forest Service Rocky Mountain Research Station and California’s Wildfire and Forest Resilience Task Force. Her work includes modeling forest treatments and wildfire risk, evaluating forest resilience and management outcomes, and developing science and technology to support landscape-scale decision making across California and the western United States.

Carrie holds a PhD in Environmental Science, Policy, and Management from the University of California, Berkeley, an MS in Forest Ecosystem Science, and a BA in Biology. Before joining SIG, she was a postdoctoral researcher at UC Davis.
