Current Research

I recently returned from a 2-year detail under an Intergovernmental Personnel Act Agreement, serving as the Senior Forest Climate Change Specialist to the Global Environment Facility, Washington DC. The GEF is a Vice Presidential Unit within the World Bank. I led the land use, land use change and forestry (LULUCF) portfolio and the Sustainable Forest Management/REDD+ portfolio for the Climate and Chemicals Team; and was the carbon benefits expert for estimation for GEF forest-related projects.

My research assignment prior to my sabbatical at the GEF was focused on estimating greenhouse gas inventories and their uncertainties associated with forest and land management in the United States, and exploring management impacts. This included online applications: COLE, http://www.ncasi2.org/COLE/

I am currently working with NRS concerning my next Forest Service assignment.

Why is This Important

Carbon is important to energy production and climate change. Credible estimation of carbon benefits from land management is crucial for development of carbon markets, to meet policy commitments, to practice sustainable land management, and to understand the global carbon cycle.

Future Research

All land management and use potentially contributes to greenhouse gas emissions and sinks, including carbon benefits. Forest and land management produces other multiple environmental benefits, such an in the areas of climate change, biodiversity and combating desertification. Future research will involve quantifying and understanding multiple environmental benefits from forest and land management and use for the purpose of informing policy and improving local livelihoods, consistent with an international perspective. Relevant science findings will be communicated to policymakers, practicing land managers, and the public.
