Role at Wageningen University & Research 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.
