Research Areas

Forest Health

We address impacts and potential mitigation of threats to the health of forests in Pennsylvania and beyond. Threats include forest loss, climate change, invasive species, pollution, and more.

Restoring Ecosystem Function and Service

Research focuses on scientifically-based management options for restoring and maintaining healthy, natural, and sustainable ecosystems.

Scaling up Ecosystem Management

Faculty and students develop and utilize new data products, remote sensing tools, and computational systems that enable breakthroughs in scaling up, in order to enhance the social value of natural landscapes and better understand ecological relationships and social tradeoffs at different scales.

Watershed Resilience

Our department has a long and distinguished role in watershed science. We’re building watershed management knowledge in order to increase resilience of water quantity and quality threatened by climate change, development, and more.
