Jerome Klaas Vanclay is an Australian academic. He is currently a Professor for Sustainable Forestry at Southern Cross University (SCU), and a coordinator in IUFRO.
Jerry Vanclay is currently the Professor of Sustainable Forestry in the School of Environment, Science and Engineering at Southern Cross University and served as and Dean of Science and Head of School for 11 years. [1] Vanclay received a doctorate (D.Sc.For.) from the University of Queensland in 1992. Before joining SCU, Vanclay was Principal Scientist with the Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR), and Professor of Tropical Forestry at the Royal Veterinary and Agricultural University in Copenhagen, Denmark. He leads SCU's research program in decision support systems for forest management (including growth modelling and yield prediction) and teaches Forest Management. He is a member of the Southern Cross Group and chaired (2004–09) the Expert Independent Advisory Panel to the Minister of the Sustainability and Environment in Victoria (Australia).
Vanclay was awarded the Queen's Award for Forestry in 1997, and the IUFRO Scientific Achievement Award in 2010. He is a fellow of the Royal Society of New South Wales.
His research interests focus on information systems for forestry and land use management. He has written over 350 publications, at least 130 of which appear in refereed journals. [2] He wrote the definitive text on forest growth modelling, Modelling Forest Growth and Yield, and serves on the editorial boards of several journals including Small-scale Forestry and Forest Biometry, Modelling and Information Sciences. His most recent book Realizing Community Futures deals with participatory modelling to resolve natural resource conflicts.
Southern Cross University (SCU) is an Australian public university, with campuses at Lismore and Coffs Harbour in northern New South Wales, and at Coolangatta, the most southern suburb of the Gold Coast in Queensland. It is ranked in the top 100 young universities in the world by the Times Higher Education World University Rankings.
The International Union of Forest Research Organizations (IUFRO) is a non-profit, non-governmental international network of forest scientists, headquartered in Austria. In 2019, IUFRO counted 630 Member Organizations worldwide.
The Southern Cross Group of Forest Researchers and Practitioners is a group of individuals with experience and expertise in forestry and forest ecology, who work to foster better management of Australia's native forests.
The following outline is provided as an overview of and guide to forestry:
The Journal of Forestry is the primary scholarly journal of the Society of American Foresters. It aims to advance the forestry profession by keeping professional foresters informed about developments and ideas related to the practice of forestry. The journal publishes editorials and technical content related to the management of forests and related natural resources. Articles are generally written for an audience of natural resources professionals, with topics spanning the many facets or disciplines of forestry. The Journal is currently edited by Keith A. Blatner. According to the Journal Citation Reports, its 2018 impact factor is 2.675.
The International Forestry Students’ Association (IFSA) is an international network of students in forestry-related sciences. It is a globally organized and locally operated student organisation connecting forest and related science students to peers, forest-related organisations, and policy platforms. The IFSA has 130 member associations in over 50 countries. IFSA is a non-political, non-profit, and non-religious organisation that is entirely run by students.
Anatoly Shvidenko is a doctor of science, professor, and senior research Scholar at the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis, Austria.
Distinguished Professor David Lindenmayer,, is an Australian scientist and academic. His research focuses on the adoption of nature conservation practices in agricultural production areas, developing ways to improve integration of native forest harvesting and biodiversity conservation, new approaches to enhance biodiversity conservation in plantations, and improved fire management practices in Australia. He specialises in large-scale, long-term research monitoring programs in south-eastern Australia, primarily in forests, reserves, national parks, plantations, and on farm land.
Hugh Graham Miller, FICFor, was professor emeritus of forestry and former head of the Department of Forestry at the University of Aberdeen. In 1981 he was awarded the Scientific Achievement Award by the International Union of Forest Research Organizations.
The Farm Forestry Toolbox is a collection of computer programs, referred to as 'Tools', intended to be used by farm forest owners and managers to aid decision making. The Toolbox includes a set of simple 'Hand Tools'; conversion of measurements and map co-ordinates; measuring the volume of stacked logs, slope, basal area; and a survey tool. A second set of more complex tools or 'Power Tools'; can be used to estimate site productivity, volume and value of wood grown for individual trees, at the coupe or stand level and forest estate level.
John D. Aber is University Professor Emeritus of Natural Resources & the Environment at the University of New Hampshire, and was also for many years affiliated with the Institute for the Study of Earth, Oceans, and Space at UNH. His fields of study included Ecosystem Analysis and Modeling, Global Change, Acid Rain, Nitrogen Deposition and Sustainable Agriculture.
James Peter (Hamish) Kimmins. He earned his B.Sc. in forestry at the University of Wales Bangor (1964), M.Sc. in Forest Entomology at the University of California at Berkeley (1966), M.Phil. (1968) and Ph.D. in Forest Ecology with honours at Yale University (1970). In 1969, he began at the Faculty of Forestry, University of British Columbia (UBC). where he served in various capacities and retired on December 31, 2007, as Professor of Forest Ecology. In 2007, he received the title of Professor Emeritus at UBC.
Reinhart Jan Maria Ceulemans is an emeritus professor of Ecology and previous director of the Research Center of Excellence PLECO of the University of Antwerp. He has been vice-dean of the Faculty of Sciences at the University of Antwerp, and was a visiting professor at the University of Washington, Seattle, USA (1987-1988), at the Université Paris-Sud XI, Orsay and at the University of Ghent. He officially retired in October 2019 and is now a visiting professor at the University of Antwerp (Belgium), a researcher at CzechGlobe Academy of Sciences in Brno and an international consultant to the Slovenian Forestry Institute.
