Vision & Mission Statement

The practice of forest resources management requires accurate and current information as inputs to decision and policy making.

Active research in this area includes developing and validating methods and techniques to collect and analyze inventory and productivity data at all scales, using a variety of measurement techniques including forest inventory and application of remotely sensed imagery. Analysis of relationships across scales and over time is particularly accented from the individual tree and species level, to regional, continental and global scales.

Since these methods are useful for all aspects of forest management, and for other fields of study, courses provided by this group of faculty members are well subscribed.

Faculty also act as an applied forest biometrics and remote sensing consulting group for graduate students and faculty across the UBC campus.
