Stuart turned in his M.S. thesis this past week!
Stuart Steidle, MS student in our lab, turned in his thesis to the graduate school this past week. We are so happy for him! His perseverance as a social science student in our biophysical lab was pretty darn epic!
Two students in our lab won IALE travel awards!
Both Stuart Steidle and Shelby Weiss won the student travel awards to cover their expenses to attend the International Association of Landscape Ecology. Congrats to both of them!
Stuart’s talk will be about “Testing presence, assessing attitudes: study of a virtual tour in an “aesthetically challenged” landscape”
Shelby’s talk will be about “Contexts mediating future shifts in vegetation composition in interior Alaska boreal forests under climate change”.
New grant with Oregon State University
PI, Melissa Lucash, and Co-PI, Neil Williams, will be working a new project with Oregon State University to support the development of the forest management plan for the Elliott State Research Forest (ESRF). Simulation of forest successional processes, forest management activities, and natural disturbances with LANDIS-II using a variety of alternative harvest configurations will inform forest management planning on the Elliott State Forest to achieve desired ownership goals. Our work will help to spatially optimizing forest management at the landscape scale to conserve endangered species, preserve old growth stands, store carbon, and produce timber.
Stuart receives funding from UO's SOJC Center for Science Communication (SCR)!
Stuart Steidle, M.S. student in our lab, received funding to support his MS research on our WI ViFF project from UO’s, Center for Science Communication Research (SCR). Congrats Stuart!
SCR was established by UO to lead and teach about cutting-edge science communication research that addresses complex problems and improves evidence-based decision making.
