Overview
About
Glen Armstrong applies operations research techniques to the study of forest management and forest policy issues. He is particularly interested in natural disturbance management and carbon accounting in the boreal forest.
Courses
REN R 213 - Data Science for Resource Analysis
Introduces concepts of data science for analysis of problems related to the science and management of renewable resources. The course will use the R programming languages and R packages for manipulating, visualizing and analysing data, and for communicating results of analyses through graphics and literate programming. The use of R for statistics and analysis of spatial data will be introduced.
REN R 430 - Forest Resources Management
Analytical techniques used by renewable resource managers for management of wildland areas for single or multiple outputs; problems of defining optimality when confronted with competing uses and multiple outputs. Prerequisite: 60 units. REN R 215 and (AREC 214 or 3 units in MATH)
REN R 431 - Integrated Forest Management
Problem solving, decision making and planning in relation to the management of forest resources. Application of models and related tools. Public involvement and issues management will be addressed. Prerequisites: REN R 323, REN R 430 and one of REN R 295 or REN R 299.
REN R 727 - Forest Resources Management
Analytical techniques used by renewable resource managers for management of wildland areas for single or multiple outputs; problems of defining optimality when confronted with competing uses and multiple outputs. Not to be taken if credit received for REN R 430.
REN R 728 - Integrated Forest Management
Problem solving, decision making and planning in relation to the management of forest resources. Application of models and related tools. Public involvement and issues management will be addressed. Not to be taken if credit received for REN R 431. Prerequisite: REN R 430 or REN R 727.
