Center for Research on Sustainable Forests Home Forest-Based Research Forest Climate Change Initiative Nature-Based Tourism Intelligent GeoSolutions Tools Resources Welcome to the Center for Research on Sustainable Forests The Center for Research on Sustainable Forests (CRSF) was founded in 2006 to build on a rich history of leading forest research and to enhance our understanding of Maine’s forest resources in an increasingly complex world. Forest research and its application are rapidly evolving due to unprecedented availability of data provided by emerging technologies such as high-resolution digital imagery and GPS. As the CRSF looks to the future, we hope to lead the development, integration, and application of these emerging technologies to address current and future issues in natural resources. Our mission is to conduct and promote leading interdisciplinary research on issues affecting the management and sustainability of northern forest ecosystems and Maine’s forest-based economy. Our Team CRSF Partners Frequently Asked Questions Multi-Institutional Research Smart Data for Resilient Forests Compiling data to better assess, understand and forecast complex forest landscape changes is the goal of a four-year, multidisciplinary regional project led by Aaron Weiskittel, director of the Center for Research on Sustainable Forests at the University of Maine.
