Igor Staritsky

Igor Staritsky is a Researcher at Wageningen University & Research, specializing in Applied Spatial Research. His work focuses on bioenergy systems, forest ecosystem dynamics, and agricultural land use optimization, combining ecological and economic analyses to address sustainability challenges.

• Key Research Areas: Bioenergy production, Cropping system design, Forest resource modeling, Environmental impact assessment
• Technical Expertise: Spatial analysis, Material flow tracking, Climate-forest interactions, Invasive species monitoring

Recent publications demonstrate his focus on EU forest resource dynamics, biofuel supply chains, and climate-resilient agricultural systems. His datasets on Dutch land use and European forest resources provide critical infrastructure for sustainability research.

• Scientific Contributions:
  • Developed national land cover datasets (LGN2022, LGN2023)
  • Coordinated biomass residue mapping in the Netherlands
  • Lead spatial analysis of EU forest industry resources

As Project Leader for the KvB-058 IEA-Pilot, he contributes to advancing sustainable bioenergy solutions through rigorous data-driven research.
