Research Overview

The School's faculty, staff and students engage in research for the discovery and dissemination of knowledge for the stewardship of natural and managed environments and the sustainable use of their products and services. In support of its vision to provide world-class, internationally recognized knowledge and leadership for environmental and natural resource issues, the School's research programs include funded research grants by individual faculty, interdisciplinary programs drawing on expertise from other UW academic units, and centers working on regional natural resources and environmental issues. The School also collaborates with national and international research initiatives, consortiums and programs, including:

• Center for Advanced Forestry Systems

• Consortium for Research on Renewable Industrial Materials (CORRIM)
• National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON)
• U.S. Forest Service Fire and Environmental Research Applications Team
