Master of Professional Studies in Wood Science - Tropical Timbers in Syracuse United States | SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry

Research on tropical woods takes diverse approaches, shaped by each student's focus. International scholars frequently arrive with particular challenges and samples, ensuring their dissertation work has direct relevance upon returning to their home nations. The C. deZeeuw Memorial Library resources and the H.P. Brown Memorial Wood Collection's reference samples at the Tropical Timber Information Center (TTIC), located in Baker Laboratory, play a crucial role in these investigations. Projects might address wood anatomy, identification, characteristics, or applications globally, utilizing TTIC's specialized materials. These inquiries can range from highly specific - examining the structure and mechanical traits of woods from a defined locale - to expansive studies mapping species distribution across ecological zones within a nation or broader region.
