a senior scientist at IIASA and has been principal investigator in
a number of projects on the forest sector of Northern Eurasia. Professor
Shvidenko graduated from the Ukrainian Agricultural University (forestry)
and the Kiev State University (applied mathematics and theory of probability).
He received his Candidate of Science (PhD) degree in mathematical modeling
of growth and productivity of forests in 1968 and his Doctor of Science
degree in forestry in 1982. In 1990 he was awarded the Ukrainian State
Prize in the field of science and technology. Since 1982 he has been
a full professor and since 1993 Academician of the UN International
Informatization Academy. From 1959 to 1967 he worked in the Russian
Far East - in forest inventory expeditions, at the Sakhalin Forest
Research Station, and as main forester for the Dolinsk State Forest
Enterprise. From 1968 to 1987 he worked at the Kiev National Agrarian
University where he headed the Department of Forest Inventory and Planning.
Before joining IIASA, he was the Director of the All-Russian Scientific
Research and Information Center for Forest Resources in Moscow. Professor
Shvidenko's main fields of interest are forest inventory, monitoring,
mathematical modeling, global change, and boreal forests.
Dmitry Schepashchenko Dr. Shchepashchenko received his master's degree in forestry and
forest soils in 1988 from Moscow State Forest University. He was
awarded his PhD in soil science in 1993 from Dokuchaev's Soil Science
Institute in Moscow. He was awarded his professor
degree in ecology in 2005 from Moscow State Forest University
and his Dr. of Science degree in biology in 2006 from Moscow State
Forest University. He is currently Professor at Moscow State Forest
University, Department of Pedology.
Ian McCallum Mr.
McCallum joined the Forestry Program as a research scholar in August
2000. Prior to coming to IIASA, he spent five years at Olympic
Resource Management, an international forestry consulting firm
located in western Canada and the United States. Ian received his
MSc in forestry in 1993 from Lakehead University, on a scholarship
from Wildlife Habitat Canada. His current research interests include
the use of geographic information and earth observation systems
in terrestrial biospheric studies. In particular, issues related to greenhouse
gases, the Kyoto Protocol, land cover and boreal forest ecosystems.
Sten Nilsson Professor
Sten Nilsson, was appointed Deputy Director of IIASA on July 2,
2002 having been Counselor to the Director since 1998. Professor
Nilsson joined the Biosphere Project in January 1986 and became
Leader of the Forestry Program in 1990. A native of Sweden, Professor Nilsson
has had a distinguished academic career in forest sector analysis with emphasis
on policy analysis. He received his M.Sc. in forestry from the
Royal College of Forestry in Stockholm in 1971 and his Ph.D. in economic
planning from the same college in 1975. He became Professor in 1976 in economic
planning at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences. He is a working
member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Agriculture and Forestry, the Scientific
Committee of Academia Istropolitana, Slovakia and an Academician
of the UN International Academy of Informatics, Russia. An expert on boreal
forests and global forest sector analysis, he is frequently asked to address
international meetings on different issues dealing with the forest sector.
He has held a number of consultancies in organizations such as The World
Bank, FAO, OECD, EC and SIDA. He has served as an expert in different international
organizations such as the World
Commission on Forests and Sustainable Development (WCFSD), International
Boreal Forest Research Association (IBFRA), International
Union of Forest Research Organizations (IUFRO), WWF and Forest
Trends.
