Researcher at the Sustainable Forest Ecosystems team, Wageningen Environmental Research.

Brief bio Rodrigo Muñoz is a Mexican ecologist with a specialization in the study of forests and their drivers of change. His research interests encompass a wide range, from tree physiology and anatomy to comprehensive comparisons of forest ecosystems across the world. Currently, he performs as Researcher at Wageningen Environmental Research, with a focus in modelling the dynamics of European forests, and using this information to advise the activities of a broad range of stakeholders: from scientific researchers to the industry to policy and decision makers.

Ongoing projects

• Modelling of European forest dynamics (EFISCEN-Space)
• Understanding the drivers of forest change in Europe and the Latin American tropics
• Identification of forestry sector information needs Europe-wide (MoniFun)

Why am I using the HPC? Making projections of the state and change of European forests requires an enormous computational power. Currently, we use a dataset encompassing 18 European countries, with millions of trees. Hence, the HPW offers a great solution to our computing requirements, significantly reducing the time required to make our forest projections.
