Wouter Hantson

Wouter Hantson is a PhD candidate in the School of Forest Resources. His research focuses on investigating the patterns of vegetation-permafrost dynamics as determined by landscape-scale disturbance. His research activities are organized within three objectives designed to build a scaling framework to: Measure the local-scale heterogeneity of vegetation composition and structure along gradients of disturbance […]
Investigating the patterns of vegetation-permafrost dynamics as determined by landscape-scale disturbance

The University of Maine conducts research in collaboration with Brookhaven National Laboratory and Oak Ridge National Laboratory toward a subset of science objectives outlined in the Phase 3 proposal of the Next-generation Ecosystem Experiments (NGEE) in the Arctic. The NGEE-Arctic project is using observations, experiments and modeling to improve our predictive understanding of Arctic ecosystem […]

Ph.D. Oregon State University (2006) M.S. University of Maine (1999) B.S. SUNY ESF (1996) My research, teaching and outreach interests broadly involve scaling questions and geospatial applications in forests and ecosystems. My research activities range from historical remote sensing analysis of tropical deforestation to biogeochemical modeling of ecosystem-climate feedbacks in the Arctic; from airborne measurement of forest […]
