Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolFred Martin is a Forest Biometrician with over 35 years of applied research experience and 14 years captured as formal professional activity, specializing in long-term forest regeneration, growth dynamics, and biometrics. Retired from the State of Washington but active as Emeritus at the WA Dept. of Natural Resources, he curates and analyzes 25-year longitudinal experiments comparing planted versus natural regeneration under residual overstory. He is focused on making these datasets FAIR—findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable—and is seeking curator partnerships to enable broader collaboration and publication. Based in Olympia, WA, he combines rigorous academic training (BS/MS/PhD in Forestry, Ecology, and Biometrics) with practical field expertise and a growing interest in spatial data structures linking understory vegetation and residual trees to establishment and growth outcomes.
