Associate Professor
Sonoma State University
Rohnert Park, California, United States
Dr. Bentley is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biology at Sonoma State University. Her research employs innovative approaches to advance the field of remote sensing of 3D forest structure. Studies, often led by graduate and undergraduate students, are motivated by emerging needs to manage fire fuels and timber, to improve carbon accounting, and to ultimately aid in wildfire prediction and prevention. Work in her lab also focuses on integrating research with education in novel ways (i.e. virtual reality) to increase scientific literacy and public engagement around the topic of wildfire while promoting inclusion, accessibility and equity.
