The
Research staff of the new Northern Interior Forest Region are located in 2 offices - one
in Prince George and the other in Smithers. The mandate of the Regional Research Section is to help provide
innovative solutions to high priority problems in forest resources management, and to
promote resource stewardship based on sound scientific principles. The section has
expertise in the major disciplines of ecology, geomorphology, hydrology, silviculture,
soils, and wildlife. Training, consultation, and extension services are provided in
all areas. Research staff stay current in their areas by conducting field
experiments, retrospective studies, and operational trials, by maintaining contacts with
their peers and by being active members of the general scientific community. Most
staff play active roles on local, regional, and national committees and are members of
professional societies. Research results and recommendations are passed on to the
appropriate areas through consultation, steering committees and workshops, journal
publications, land management handbooks, field guides, and extension notes. A directory of the Research Section staff, by department, is given
below with links to descriptions of their areas of expertise and educational
backgrounds. Under the "Contents" heading on the left of
this page, links are provided to some of the major research field experiments
underway in the Northern Interior Forest Region. If you would like further
information on any aspect of our program, please contact the appropriate
researcher from the list below. Comments on this web page should
be directed to the Webmaster.
