Eskelson, Bianca

My research focuses on the application and extension of statistical theory and methods to inventory, monitoring, and modelling of forest resources and ecosystem services at a variety of scales. I am interested in the fundamental problem of analyzing and modelling non-normally distributed data and ways to account for spatial dependence and hierarchical data structures. Most recently, I have been working on quantifying disturbance effects and post-disturbance dynamics from forest inventory data and on incorporating climate sensitivity into growth and yield models.
