Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSean Gordon is a research scientist and Forest Program Lead based in Portland with nine years in his current research trajectory and over two decades bridging ecology, information systems, and policy. He leads a small team of quantitative landscape ecologists at the Institute for Natural Resources, delivering machine-learning landscape mapping and scenario modeling (SyncroSim, Landis-II, FVS) to inform state and federal natural resource decisions. His work blends technical tool-building—semantic knowledge networks and GIS-based assessment—with practical governance insight from NSF-funded multi-partner projects and long-term collaborations with agencies like USDA and interagency watershed programs. Trained with a PhD in Forest Resources and an environmental management master's from Yale, he pairs rigorous quantitative methods with an unusual focus on how scientific analysis is adopted within institutions. Colleagues rely on him to translate complex model outputs into actionable guidance for landscape collaboratives and policy-makers.
