Featured Project
A rotating spotlight of some of our research..
Information for Students
Useful information and resources for current and prospective students.
Remote Sensing and Geospatial Analysis Lab (RSGAL)
Conducts research into the multiscale dynamics of landscape change through the innovative application of remote sensing and geospatial tools. RSGAL promotes a transdisciplinary approach for sustainable management solutions to pressing environmental issues.
ECOSEL
An analytical modeling tool that aids forest landowners and managers in selling ecosystem services from their working forestland. ECOSEL optimally allocates management actions to forest stands in order to produce various bundles of timber and non-timber benefits. Read more about ECOSEL.
Joint Fire Science Program (JFSP)
An investigation of the utility of active infrared (LIDAR) and active microwave (IFSAR) sensor data for the estimation of crown fire fuel density, type, and condition.
Southern California
Mapping and analysis of pre-fire fuels loading and burn intensity using pre-fire interferometric synthetic aperture radar data combined with burn intensity derived from post-fire multispectral imagery for the 2003 southern California fires.
Forest Inventory Analysis (FIA) Alaska
Exploring how airborne laser scanning (also known as light detection and ranging or LIDAR) and high-resolution imagery can be used for estimating some forest structure and composition variables in FIA forest inventory plots.
Stand Management Cooperative
An industry, agency, and academic partnership developed to provide a continuing source of high quality information on the long-term effects of silvicultural treatments and treatment regimes on stand and tree growth and development and on wood and product quality.
