The National Science Foundation awarded a $148,000 Project Grant to support a postdoctoral fellowship under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075). The fellowship will fund an early career scientist at the University of California, Berkeley from October 2022 through September 2024 to investigate the spatial distribution and drivers of forest restoration reversals and successes. Specifically, the fellow will conduct biome- and property-scale geospatial analyses to determine hotspots of forest restoration projects that failed or succeeded long-term. Additionally, drawing on literature around forest change, the fellow will evaluate political, social, and environmental factors influencing restoration outcomes across different scales. This research aims to advance understanding of long-term impacts of forest restoration efforts and provide recommendations to improve their sustainability, with implications for forest-based environmental solutions in the US and globally.
