The School of Forest Resources manages more than 8,200 university-owned acres within 20 miles of University Park. These include extensive forests and farm woodlots, experimental plantations, and six fully instrumented watersheds. Large areas of state and forest lands, parks, and game lands may be utilized by graduate students in their research. Laboratories and Greenhouses Specialized and routine laboratories are housed mainly in the Forest Resources Laboratory Building. Other specialized labs are designed for research in environmental pollution, genetics, physiology, soils, water quality, and wildlife.
Several greenhouses are available for use by faculty and graduate students in various disciplines.
The Center for Academic Computing provides support services and access to IBM and Macintosh personal computers and to mainframe terminals. The Office for Remote Sensing of Earth Resources enables students to work with advanced geographic information systems. Various sensing systems, image processing, and computer modeling systems can be used separately or together in a workstation environment. The Assistant Director and electronic process will supply all necessary application materials and relevant information. Applications should be submitted prior to January 31 for beginning a program in the summer or fall.
