Forschung | International Forestry Consultancy Gradel

Wissenschaft und Veröffentlichungen

Neben meiner Arbeit als Berater und Auditor kooperiere ich auch eng mit mehreren Forschungseinrichtungen und Universitäten. Stabile Kooperationen haben sich für mich diesbezüglich bisher vor allem im asiatischen Raum, in Osteuropa und Deutschland ergeben. Ich bin regelmäßig als Gutachter für mehrere internationale Fachzeitschriften (Herausgeberschaften in Europa, Asien und Nordamerika) tätig; Mitglied des Gutachtergremiums von Forests: https://www.mdpi.com/journal/forests/submission_reviewers ; Gastherausgeber einer Sonderausgabe über das mongolische Plateau in der Zeitschrift Geography, Environment, Sustainability: https://ges.rgo.ru/jour/issue/view/46/showToc

Bei Interesse an Forschungskooperationen wenden Sie sich gerne an mich.
