Darius Adams We welcome Dr. Thomas Maness as the new Department Head for Forest Engineering Resources and Management, beginning October 1, 2009.

Dr. Maness comes to us from the University of British Columbia where he created and directed the BC Forum on Forest Economics and Policy, a research and extension center aimed at helping to develop a strategic vision for the future competitiveness of the BC forest sector. He was also responsible for the creation of UBC’s Centre for Advanced Wood Processing and he served as its Director for 5 years, leading the faculty in developing a new award winning undergraduate program in value-added wood processing. Dr. Maness has been a successful teacher and researcher with an extensive list of published works. His research has spanned three broad categories: (i) strategic land-use planning and forest tenure policy, (ii) value chain optimization and (iii) energy and climate policy. In addition to his academic accomplishments, Dr. Maness has forestry industry experience in the Pacific Northwest as a project engineer and software developer.
