Looking for a postdoc with a specialization in forest carbon dynamics, climate policy, and nature-based solutions.
The fellow will work at the intersection of forest ecology and environmental policy, investigating the effectiveness of forest carbon offset programs

Today we visited our research site in a CALFIRE demonstration forest, where the forest has been actively managed for uneven aged structure. See below, site of a successful prescribed burn done in June!

Oh man, this is just heartbreaking to read

There are 6 Forest Service research stations that also manage research labs, 80 experimental forests, a forest product laboratory, & the International Institute of Tropical Forestry. This is the most extensive natural resource research operation in the world--a hidden crown jewel of our country. 2/

4/4 Fir engraver and western pine beetle are less well-studied than other bark beetles such as mountain pine beetle or spruce beetle, but have caused substantial tree mortality in drought-affected forests in the last decade. Our results call for more attention on fir engraver and western pine beetle

3/4 A key result was the finding that large areas of forest in the western US are potentially at risk of tree mortality by fir engraver and, to a lesser extent, western pine beetle.

2/4 Unsurprisingly, host basal area had a positive effect on probability of mortality for all eight bark beetle species we studied.
