I Am A ... Fire Ecologist

By Ecosystems Mission Area

I Am A ... Fire Ecologist is part of our "I Am A..." series of USGS whiteboard animations that highlight USGS careers. The concept is to show "what society (or my mom) thinks I do" compared with "what I really do." One image captures a more whimsical representation of a "scientist" in the field and the second demonstrates a more accurate representation of what we really look like. Next up Fire Ecologist.

A Fire Ecologist is someone who studies fire behavior and its effects! The USGS has lot of scientists that do this.

Below we feature the animated video and a coloring page.
