UBC Forestry would like to congratulate Dr. Elaheh Ghasemi on being awarded the André Hoffman Fellowship for the Fourth Industrial Revolution!
Dr. Elaheh Ghasemi’s project aims to explore nature-based decarbonization opportunities for the mining and forest sectors in Canada. This interdisciplinary research will develop an open modeling framework to assess carbon capture in forests near mining sector industrial assets, potentially reducing emissions and fostering sustainable land use. The project also seeks to engage First Nations communities, offering economic and cultural benefits while supporting global carbon reduction commitments. By bridging gaps between forest management and mining operations, this initiative will contribute to innovative, sustainable solutions for the bioeconomy.
