Current Research

I work with a team of Forest Inventory and Analysis employees from across the country to design, develop, and implement an information management system to capture, process, store, and distribute forest inventory data.

Why is This Important

Timely and accurate Forest Inventory and Analysis data and information is a critical component of strategic decision making. An information management system is a key element in producing timely and accurate data and information.
