[CANUFNET] Urban Forestry -PhD research

[Danijela Puric-Mladenovic]

 Dear colleagues,



Maria Toledo a Ph.D. student ( on a stipend from the Mexican government)   selected  to do her PhD work in Canada and transfer our  Urban and Peri-Urban  knowledge, research and practical   experience  to Latin America. Her Ph.D.  in urban forestry (UF)  , at the Faculty of Forestry  University of Toronto,  is specifically related to  modeling and mapping urban biotopes, projecting their canopy and ecological goods and services  potentials.

Maria's research  work combines traditional field methods and tree measurements , along with use of remotely sensed images and spatial information.

Her study area is her home town - Mexico City, where she also envisions building an urban forestry  research program and UF movement .



Maria is starting her field sampling in January 2017 , but her  stipend  is not enough to fully  support her  field work , and she is trying new ways ( listed below)  of supporting her research:



a)      If you have any equipment that is of no use  to you , but that is still in good shape and that  could  survives 2 field seasons  , please contact at Maria at m.toledo.garibaldi at mail.utoronto.ca<mailto:m.toledo.garibaldi at mail.utoronto.ca>  (e.g. old gps units, DBh tapes, hypsometers , compass, calipers, field wests,  ...)



a)      If you could  and would like to support  her research please see the links below.
