Genetic improvement of Eucalyptus grandis with a strong emphasis on freeze tolerance and blue gum chalcid resistance. Experience includes progeny test assessments (individual tree status, height/diameter measurements, freeze tolerance score, chalcid damage, and stem form/branching score), reevaluation of clonal and seedling seed orchards for pest resistance, estimation of genetic parameters, and inventory of Eucalyptus grandis genotype x silviculture research installations. Perform a financial analyses (optimal coppice stage and cycle lengths) of four Eucalyptus grandis cultivars established in clone x spacing x fertilization demonstration trials on former citrus lands and phosphate-mined clay settling areas.

Hot Springs, Ar

Responsible for coordinating all genetics field tests across Southern Timberlands as well as supporting research activities for other areas of timberlands technology by working with key scientists across the Weyerhaeuser organization in Tree Improvement, Production Forestry, and Environmental Research. Ensure field test sites are properly selected, site prepared, established, maintained, and measured, document test establishment, and conduct research on various aspects of tree genetics, tree physiology, and silviculture.

Gainesville, Fl

Measure and maintain PPINES and PINEMAP slash pine and loblolly pine plantation research plots, implement silvicultural treatments (weed control and fertilization), data management, and equipment/machine maintenance.

Portland, Or

Complete an irrigation optimization study of the Boardman Tree Farm, a 25,800-acre drip-irrigated hybrid poplar plantation in eastern Oregon. Additional responsibilities include the support of acquisitions, operations, and other investment management activities.

Monticello, Ar

Installation and data collection from permanent forest inventory plots in Arkansas and North Carolina. Participated in timber inventory and marking of bottomland hardwood forests with Larson & McGowin forestry consultants.

Estero, Fl

Participated in prescribed burns, vegetation monitoring studies, and wildlife surveys (e.g. white-tailed deer, bobwhite quail, and wading birds). Provided timber inventory data and management recommendations to the land manager for slash pine plantations at the CREW Wildlife and Environmental Area.

Gatlinburg, Tn

Assisted biologist Glenn Taylor and vegetation managers with forest insects and disease, and exotic vegetation management. Participated in the monitoring and implementation of integrated pest management plans for hemlock woolly adelgid, balsam woolly adelgid, and emerald ash borer (soil drenching and systemic insecticide applications, and biological control assessments).
