Biography
Jeremy has led the Portland-based research team of the PNW Research Station's Forest Inventory and Analysis Program since 1999. From 1998-1999, he was Visiting Professor of Geoinformatics at the University of Helsinki, and from 1992-1999 served as the Forest Management professor on the faculty of the Department of Forestry at Michigan State University. Outside of work, Jeremy enjoys biking, hiking, time with family and walking his Portuguese Water Dog.
