the problems facing the natural world are growing increasingly complex. in this program, students will gain in-depth knowledge and research experiences to contribute to the solutions.

graduate students work alongside internationally recognized faculty across eight programs on leading natural resources research. for example, students could explore landscapes after wildland fire; invasive plant and animal species; new and better building materials; alternative wood-based energy sources; better remote sensing and gis tools; wild fish runs; wildlife habitats; domestic livestock and grasslands; human interactions with the environment; and much more.

this program encompasses a wide range of natural resource disciplines and issues, ranging from forest resources and conservation sciences; to fire science and wildlife and fisheries resources; to rangeland management and forest products.
