Danielle Losos

Danielle Losos is a graduate student at the University of Colorado-Boulder (CU) Department of Geography advised by Dr. Jennifer Balch. Her research investigates rapid disturbance caused by wildland fire, using satellite remote sensing to observe active fire behavior coupled with post-fire impacts to vegetated ecosystems.

Danielle has a B.S. in Environmental Science from Yale University. Prior to CU, Danielle worked as a data scientist for three years at the Space Science and Engineering Center at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. At UW-Madison, she modeled carbon and water cycling in near-real time from geostationary satellite observations. In addition, she engineered a platform (BRISK Map Portal) to help emergency managers monitor the burn severity of active fires to assess post-fire risks like debris flows. In addition, Danielle brings experience in operational satellite products from her time working at NASA Goddard for the NOAA GOES-R satellite program .

Danielle’s free time is spent baking elaborate recipes or outside hiking, skiing and rock climbing.
