Biography
Dmitry Shchepashchenko is a senior researcher jointly associated with the Agriculture, Forestry, and Ecosystem Services Research Group of the IIASA Biodiversity and Natural Resources Program, and the Novel Data Ecosystems for Sustainability Research Group of the IIASA Advancing Systems Analysis Program.He has more than 30 years of research experience in forest ecology, forest management, and remote sensing. He actively participates in international research networks, including the International Boreal Forest Research Association (IBFRA) and the International Union of Forest Research Organizations (IUFRO). His current projects include work on the GEO-TREES permanent forest plots for validation and calibration of remote sensing; the validation of forest biomass maps for the European Space Agency’s Climate Change Initiative Biomass project; and forest carbon accounting and greenhouse gas reporting under the IMGGAR and the EYE-CLIMA projects. The projects he recently completed include: NatureMap, where he was involved in aspects of forest management and forest biomass mapping globally; citizen science and forest modeling under climate change in the Alpine region as part of the ALPTREES project; and the RESTORE+ project, which addressed landscape restoration on degraded land in Indonesia and Brazil.
Shchepashchenko graduated with a degree in forestry from the Moscow State Forest University (MSFU). He received a PhD in soil science from the Dokuchaev Soil Science Institute in Moscow and was awarded a Habilitation degree in ecology from MSFU.
