Robert Froese

Robert Froese is a Professor and Endowed Chair in Forest Growth & Yield at the University of Alberta's Faculty of Agricultural, Life and Environmental Sciences (Renewable Resources Department). He specializes in forest growth modeling, silviculture, and remote sensing applications. Froese holds a PhD and professional certifications (RPF, CF). His research focuses on optimizing forest management through growth/yield models, climate adaptation, and inventory techniques.

Education: PhD (details unspecified).

Research Interests: Froese's work addresses forest dynamics under climate change, including growth/yield prediction, regeneration patterns, and biomass estimation. He employs LiDAR and spectral analysis to improve inventory accuracy, while exploring sustainable harvest practices and their ecological impacts.

Teaching: Teaches courses like Forest Measurements (REN R 215), Forest Growth & Yield (REN R 448/548), and Forestry Field Schools (REN R 702/295). Course content integrates field skills, statistical analysis, and simulation modeling.

Labs/Teams: Leads the Forest Growth & Yield Lab at the University of Alberta, focusing on operationalizing growth models and climate-resilient management strategies.
