A Registered Professional Forester in British Columbia, Dr. Temesgen seeks to develop (or extend): 

• Forest growth and yield modeling

   

• Applications of remotely sensed data to forest measurements and assessment; 

   

• Sampling and statistical methods to characterize and quantify the status and change of selected attributes, including merchantable volume, biomass, and carbon.

   

• Risk and uncertainty analysis in predicting biomass, carbon, and land use changes.

   

• Statistical and machine learning models that support dynamic carbon inventory, forest planning, and habitat analysis.
