Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research WSL
The Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research WSL is part of the ETH Domain. Approximately 600 people work on the sustainable use and protection of the environment and on the handling of natural hazards.
The Forest Resources and Management research unit assesses conditions and changes in forests and works on solutions for the efficient provision of ecosystem services. For the research group "Sustainable Forestry" we are looking for the **position starting September 2024** for a
PhD Student in optimizing single tree level management for increasing resilience and multifunctionality in precision forestry 100% (f/m/d)
The data will be utilized to create a digital twin of the forest. Point clouds for individual trees include detailed information on species, health, wood quality/ assortments, and biodiversity. The aim is to identify specific trees for removal and which then could be handed over to intelligent harvesters that will process this data for efficient management and value-maximized bucking, ensuring optimal cascading use of wood. At the same time, trees for other purposes such as protection could be identified to assure proper treatment.
This individual tree-level information will allow addressing multiple management targets and constraints simultaneously and thereby contribute to optimizing forest planning and -ma-nagement. Analyses will consider various risks and uncertainties, which are expected to increase in forests and forestry under changing climate.
The work will be conducted in close collaboration with the state forest enterprise Berne (Staatsforstbetrieb Bern). Moreover, the project is international and beside the Swiss Living Lab in Bern there are two others located in Norway and Spain, which will give a lot of opportunities for collaboration and exchange.
