Oskar Franklin

Oskar Franklin joined the IIASA Forestry and Greenhouse Gas Initiative Projects (GGI) in June 2004, where he developed forest models for the prediction of forest greenhouse gas fluxes in response to management options. Recently, he worked on theory and modeling of soil microbial processes and nutrient cycling. He is also leading a GGI project on the development of a new generation forest and vegetation model that takes advantage of ecological principles to realistically account for climate change effects and disturbances.

Dr. Franklin received his PhD in systems ecology at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences in Uppsala in 2003. His work involved optimal plant theory and forest growth responses to nitrogen and carbon dioxide. Prior to becoming involved in ecology, he earned an MSc in physics engineering at Uppsala University and worked at the Swedish Radiation Protection Institute with nuclear power emissions and environmental effects.
