Congratuations to Stuart Steidle, former M.S. student in our lab, for publishing his first paper!
New paper from our lab led by Stuart Steidle!
The paper compares public attitudes about habitat restoration of pine barrens in Wisconsin between a website and 3D virtual tour. We found that websites and 3D media equally enhanced public attitudes about habitat restoration. This is good news! A website that presents a compelling story of restoration is just as effective as a fancy 3D virtual tour for enhancing attitudes towards the clear-cutting and prescribed burning of forests that is necessary for pine barrens restoration. More details in the paper, which is free to download until the end of May. https://lnkd.in/gpa55FzY

Congrats to Gabriel who got accepted to the Innovation Summit led by ESIIL, a NSF-funded data synthesis center in Boulder, CO. https://esiil.org
New USDA Forest Service grant
Melissa received a new $50K grant to compare different estimates of wildfire risk in Oregon.
We’re excited to work with Andy Gray, Team Lead and Research Ecologist, in Corvallis, OR, and others on this project, especially given the importance of studying wildfire risk here in OR.
New book chapter by Melissa
New book on boreal forests in the face of climate change out today, published by Springer Publishing. Check out the chapter on modeling disturbances co-authored by Rupert, Marie, Juha and Melissa.
Congratulations to Neil Williams!
As of Jan 15, 2023, Neil has left the TEEL Lab to work with Justin Crotteau as an ORISE Postdoctoral Fellow at the U.S. Forest Service office in Missoula, Montana. One step closer to his dream job of a Research Forester in the U.S. Forest Service!
Congratulations to Shelby Weiss
Congratulations to Shelby Weiss who starts her new postdoc today at the Great Rivers Research and Education Center near St. Louis, MO. We will miss her in the lab, but wish her great luck in her new position.

Congratulations to Dr. Shelby Weiss!
CONGRATS!
Congratulations on an excellent defense, Shelby, at the University of Oregon, which, of course, inspired Spock to “throw an O”.
