Current Academic Responsibilities: FOR 274: Forest Measurements and Inventory (3cr).
Practical techniques for the design and execution of the measurement and
inventory of forest resources. One three hour lab and three one-hour
lectures.
FOR 435: Remote Sensing of Active Fire and Post-fire
Effects (2cr). Application, potential and limitations of methods for the
remote sensing of active fire and post-fire effects, and interpretation of
the results. Clarification of definitions of fire descriptors (fire
intensity, fire severity, and burn severity) and relative merits of remote
sensing tools for address them. How to identify an appropriate mapping
approach applicable to different types of imagery (depending on the specific
questions to be addressed) and provide decision support for the user
community.
FOR 474: Forest Inventory (3cr). Principles
and practice of natural resources dynamics and forest growth and yield
simulation, applied mathematical programming techniques, quantitative
decision support.

(3cr). Techniques and tools to use geospatial methods to characterize
tree-stand-landscape scale vegetation characteristics
FOR 504: Scientific Programming for Natural Resources
(1cr). Introduction to programming in IDL - the scientific programming
language used with IDL/ENVI.
