Research

Our research programs are primarily directed toward evaluation and management of Oregon's natural resources and their uses. In conjunction with other College and University departments, the Pacific Northwest Research Station of the USDA Forest Service, the USDI Geological Survey, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and other public and private research organizations, we provide the research base for forest and natural resource related issues and opportunities in Oregon.

We collaborate with the Institute for Natural Resources in research and policy analyses affecting Oregon's environment and natural resources, and their interactions with economies and communities.

Although focused on Oregon, much of our research involves projects of regional, national, and international scope. As a leading institution in the study of natural resources, it is imperative that we maintain a global perspective and contribute to improvements in forest and natural resource stewardship on a world-wide scale.
