Ringkasan program

This program is concerned with all aspects of the conservation and management of the forest vegetation covering 40 per cent of the earth’s land surface. Forest ecosystems are vital in providing wildlife habitat, protecting watersheds, preserving wilderness and other forms of outdoor recreation opportunities, maintaining biodiversity of both plants and animals, sustainably producing wood, paper, and fiber products to meet societal needs, and even controlling global climate. The study of forestry at the university is based on an understanding of the ecological interactions of trees and other plants, animals, soils, water, and climate. The concentration emphasis is on conservation challenges unique to the urbanized northeast where high population densities of citizens depend on ecosystem services from forests, most of which are owned by a complex matrix of private families, individuals, non-profit conservation organizations, and state and local governments. The goal of forestry, especially in this complex social environment, is to sustainably maintain the provision of the full suite of benefits into the future. This concentration is nationally accredited by the Society of American Foresters.

Uraian Tempat

The College of Natural Sciences (CNS) is both the newest and the oldest college at UMass Amherst. Established in 2009, the college unites the life, environmental, computational, and physical sciences, and mathematics on campus. With origins dating back to 1863, when the Massachusetts Agricultural College was established, CNS also serves the university’s land grant mission for the citizens of Massachusetts and the nation. CNS is a central nucleus of science education and research at UMass Amherst, with 15 departments, the Stockbridge School, four popular interdisciplinary graduate programs, and 6,000 undergraduates. CNS is the largest recipient of grant funding on campus, and its 400 tenure-track faculty members are awarded two-thirds of total academic research grants. CNS strengths include cutting-edge research, top-ranked academic programs, award-winning and internationally recognized faculty, multidisciplinary and cross-departmental education and research initiatives, long-standing industry and government affiliations, noteworthy academic advising, valued outreach efforts, and dedicated alumni. UMass Amherst is building a comprehensive science complex on campus. The first building in the complex, the newly completed Integrated Sciences Building, houses 87,000 square feet of new teaching and research labs that integrate the life and chemical sciences. Initial designs are in place for the New Laboratory Science Building, with construction for phases one and two to start in the fall of 2009. Currently, renovations are underway on several existing campus buildings, including Lederle Graduate Research Tower, Goessmann, and Morrill. In addition, a study will assess the feasibility for a new academic building, which would contain classrooms and faculty offices. A range of CNS shared core facilities may be utilized by off-campus researchers.
