Sustainable forest management under climate change requires a new approach that links human values, projections, and visualization to decision-making under uncertainty.

We plan to link traditional knowledge (TK) with cutting-edge modeling and visualization techniques– including immersive virtual reality (iVR) experiences- to better understand human values and forests and to explore how forest management decisions can be made more robust under deep uncertainty.

See the official Visualizing Forest Futures website for more information.
