معرفی
Dr. Christine Cahalan is an Honorary Senior Lecturer at the School of Environmental and Natural Sciences, Bangor University. Her research focuses on forestry, plant genetics, and wood properties, with emphasis on silviculture practices, climate change impacts, and genetic aspects of tree species. She has contributed to studies on Sitka spruce, Douglas fir, silver birch, and ash, exploring topics like growth responses, germination models, and wood quality traits.
Her work includes international collaborations, such as the TRANSFOR project, which advanced forestry education through student exchanges. Cahalan has also engaged in genetic studies of livestock (e.g., Welsh Mountain sheep) and analytical methods like NIRS for wood component analysis. Key projects include adapting British tree populations to climate change and improving maritime pine wood properties through QTL mapping.
No scientific awards are listed, but her extensive publications and projects highlight her contributions to forestry and genetics. Supervised projects like 'Esf- Phd 05/06 With Uklyptus' and 'Sft- Adaptation Of British Tree Populati' underscore her role in guiding research initiatives.
