Sandra Metslaid

Sandra Metslaid serves as a Research Fellow of Dendrochronology at the Estonian University of Life Sciences (EMU), specifically within the Institute of Forestry and Engineering. Her work is centered in the Chair of Forest and Land Management and Wood Processing Technologies, where she contributes to research in forest science and dendrochronology.

Her primary research interests focus on dendrochronology (the scientific method of dating tree rings to analyze environmental changes), with additional expertise in forest management systems, wood processing technologies, and sustainable forestry practices. Her work involves analyzing tree ring patterns to understand historical climate conditions, forest growth patterns, and ecological changes over time, contributing valuable data to forest management and environmental science.

Sandra Metslaid maintains active research within the forestry department at EMU, where she applies dendrochronological methods to address contemporary challenges in forest management and conservation. Her position as a Research Fellow indicates her specialized role in advancing knowledge within her field through empirical research and data analysis.
