Summary:
Research Project: Forest Service Southern Research Station scientists are seeking a Postdoctoral Fellow to join our research team focused on analyzing forest change and threats to mature and old-growth forests from global change drivers. In this project, we will collaboratively analyze potential threats expected to affect the ecological integrity and carbon dynamics of mature and old-growth forests across the U.S. between now and mid-century (2070) under scenarios of climate and socioeconomic change. We will also aim to identify the places that will serve as refugia for mature and old-growth forests in the future.
Learning Objectives: The participant selected for this project will have the opportunity to hone many aspects of their scientific skillset while participating collaboratively with Southern Research Station researchers. Activities will include:
- Analyzing simulation modeling results to determine how multiple aspects of ecological integrity of mature and old-growth forests are expected to change in the future;
- Analyzing the effects of climate extremes and disturbances on future mature and old-growth forest ecological integrity;
- Determining which places may be climate refugia for mature and old-growth forests;
- Communicating with partners within the Forest Service, in academia and in other agencies to share results; and
- Leading the writing of multiple peer-reviewed publications on research results.
