Light Ola Eriksson serves as a Visiting Professor in the Department of Forestry and Wood Technology within the Faculty of Technology at Linnaeus University. His primary research focus is on forest planning, particularly examining the climate benefits of forests through integrated modeling of the forest sector.
His research interests encompass Forest Economics and Forest Management, addressing sustainable forestry across the entire value chain in a bio-based and circular economy. He investigates the balance between economic, social, and ecological aspects of forest use, with emphasis on climate change mitigation, bioenergy development, and long-term strategic planning for the forest sector.
Eriksson's recent scholarly work centers on developing and applying integrated modeling frameworks, such as BioFrame, to analyze the impacts of forest sector strategies and to create tools for long-term forest stand projections. His publications highlight the critical role of forests in climate solutions and the complexities of achieving sustainable forest-based economies.
He actively contributes to major research initiatives including the ongoing BioFrame 2.0 project (exploring synergies and trade-offs for future forest-based solutions) and Forest 4.0 (establishing a center of excellence for forest monitoring and data analysis), building on prior work with the BioFrame project on forest bioenergy.
Within Linnaeus University, Eriksson is affiliated with the Forest Economics and Forest Management research groups, which collectively advance knowledge on sustainable forest resource management and the transition to a bio-based society.
