International Day of Forests
Forests are home to about 80% of the world's terrestrial biodiversity.
Biodiversity is under serious threat from deforestation, forest
degradation and climate change. Managing forests sustainably, and
restoring them when needed, is crucial for people, biodiversity and climate.

Dear all,
A research associate (postdoc) opportunity is available with the Forest
Ecosystems & Society Department at Oregon State University
This postdoctoral position will work with Dr. David Bell (USFS) and Dr. Meg
Krawchuk (OSU) on collaborative research projects in the fields of landscape
fire ecology and modeling, conservation, plant community ecology, and
multi-scale vegetation monitoring in the Pacific Northwest: the Fire Refugia
Project and the Vegetation Change Mapping project.
The Fire Refugia Project focuses on the regional geography and
predictability of fire refugia in late successional forests of the PNW
(http://firerefugia.forestry.oregonstate.edu/).This position will be the
research project lead in scientific analysis and communication of results,
with expertise in landscape fire ecology, forest ecology, geography, and
data analysis.
The Vegetation Change Mapping Project focuses on innovations in remote
sensing of forest status and change in support of monitoring the effects of
forest disturbance on forest ecosystems. This position will provide
scientific and technical leadership of components of regional vegetation
monitoring research and development in the Landscape Ecology, Modeling,
Mapping & Analysis team (LEMMA; https://lemma.forestry.oregonstate.edu/).
