Introduction to the Forest Biometrics Lab

The Forest Biometrics Lab is a research group in the College of Natural Resources that undertakes projects that emphasize quantitative aspects of research and teaching of any forest resource. Quantitative issues in forestry, such as measurement, estimation, and inference, are becoming more important as the management of forest resources becomes more intensive.

What does a degree in Forest Biometrics include?

This will depend on your quantitative background, your ancillary interests, and whether you’re enrolled for an MS or PhD, but there is a strong emphasis on statistics, mathematics, and practical applications.
