The Experimental Biophysics Measurements Lab is housed in the College of Natural Resources at the University of Idaho.

The lab focuses on all aspects of environmental measurements from traditional forest inventory and biometrics approaches, to cutting-edge application of remote sensing and GIScience methods, and modern Biogeosciences Research  to characterize plot to landscape-scale process and the impacts of fire and other disturbances on the environment.

Measurements are at the core of all ecosystem based sciences, whether we are conducting a traditional forest inventory to model the growth and yield of a given species, evaluating the habitat type of an endangered species in a rangeland, or understanding the process of combustion in decayed fuels. Regardless of of goal,  it is essential to use appropriate measurement and sampling methods.

Research Focus Areas:

• Plant Biometrics

• Remote Sensing/GIScience

• Combustion Studies

• Smoke and Air Quality

• Ecohydrology

• Successional Modeling
