Miranda Redmond

Biography

Dr. Miranda Redmond is an Associate Professor of Forest Science and Climate Change in the Department of Environmental Science, Policy, and Management at the University of California, Berkeley. Her research examines how climate and disturbance shape forest dynamics, focusing on tree demography (seed production, recruitment, growth, and survival), the causes and consequences of forest disturbance, and tree population adaptation, with particular emphasis on dryland forest ecosystems.

Her work integrates large-scale data synthesis, field experimentation, and community-engaged, stakeholder-driven approaches to uncover the mechanisms underlying vegetation responses to environmental change. Through collaborative research with land managers, Indigenous communities, and agency partners, she identifies strategies to enhance forest resilience while balancing diverse management objectives under a changing climate.
