The Cruiser 2009-10 and 2010-11 Double Issue
LXXII Birches Letter from the Director Joseph F. McNeel, Ph.D. Director, Division of Forestry and Natural Resources Dear readers, This Cruiser marks a new era in the varied history of this august publication, in that all of the photography is digital and the layout is all computer-based. We are also offering this Cruiser either as a pdf file or as a hard copy which can be ordered through an on-line publishing company. All of this is quite amazing for those of us who were introduced to the now common calculator in High School or even College (or even later – Thank goodness I’m not that old!)… And so I’m here trying to look forward to future educational needs for our students, while remembering when we used Biltmore sticks and pacing to measure tree heights. What will the future bring us? At the very least, we’ll be teaching students more eloquent approaches to data collection and analysis, perhaps to the point where we won’t even have to leave the office to cruise a stand of timber. We’re close now through the analysis of high resolution satellite images and newer innovations like LIDAR imagery. Perhaps the most interesting aspect of my job is the realization that our knowledge base continues to grow at a nearly exponential rate, while at the same time, our Universities are calling for reductions in the number of credit-hours required for graduation with a Bachelor of Science degree. The implications are staggering and leave me scratching my head in amazement . The students you’ll meet in this Cruiser are probably the smartest and best educated group we’ve had the chance to educate. Some of them, however, believe that their education has reached its conclusion and they will march through time with the meager weapons we’ve provided through their coursework. Sadly, they are wrong. If anything, my experience suggests learning truly is a life-long experience and only ends when the curtain draws to a final close. And looking at the beaming faces covering each page, I know that these students face a world of change and innovation that demands more and more education. And when they look upon these pages two or even three decades from now, let’s all hope that they’ve been able to keep up with all those new changes that we can’t even begin to envision today. Here’s to our graduates! Long may they continue to learn! Letter from New Faculty Gloria Oporto, Ph.D. Assistant Professor Wood Science and Technology Dear readers, It is a great pleasure to have the opportunity to wish you all the best in the next stage of your lives and also tell you a little bit about myself and my new position as Assistant Professor here at WVU. My passion of working in the forestry area started many years ago back in Chile, where I am originally from. God’s generosity allowed me to grow up in a place with several natural beauties and I can remember with such great clarity playing in the middle of tall trees and admiring their beauty while the waves of the ocean were coming ashore. However, not only the beauty, but also the potential behind such a great and complex material were the motivation for the following stages on my initial steps as a researcher. When I was finishing my undergrad studies in Chemical Engineering, my final research project involved a process to convert wood into pulp and it was here were I learned about wood components and confirmed the potential for novel byproducts from such interesting material. After that, I was working in a research center at the University of Concepcion in Chile, working very close to forest related companies. Then, during my PhD studies I was performing work with wood composites, another fantastic opportunity to work and learn much more about the great properties of wood. And here I am, starting a new challenge which completes the fifty percent missing in my professional life, “teaching”. I am beginning this new journey with all the energy to transfer my knowledge to the new generations of students coming to our Department. I will be working hard to make this department a better place to learn and develop research in the area of wood and its byproducts. It is also important to remark the great support that feel from my colleagues and the staff around me. Thanks! Once again and finally, I would like to wish you all the best on the new challenges that you will be facing as soon as you graduate. I hope you can remember your time here and you know that it would be great to see you again in the future. Good Luck! THE CRUISER The Divi sion of For estry and Natural Resources James T.

Officers serving for the 2009-2010 year were president Melissa Stevens, vice president Brian Duvall, secretary Sarah Dee, treasurer Adam Miller, and historian Christian Roper. The organization hosted a Forestry Expo and Picnic in partnership with the Forestry Club shortly after the start of the year to encourage students to become involved in the student organizations within the division. In September, a delegation of 5 students attended the 2009 National SAF Convention in Orlando Florida. This was an excellent learning experience and networking opportunity. WVU SAF also attended the winter meeting of the Allegany Society of American Foresters and participated in the quiz bowl. The club was active throughout the year in picking up trash along University Avenue as a community service project. In January, WVU SAF treated its members to a ski trip at Wisp Resort in Maryland. Most recently, the club is participating in fundraising efforts to raise money to attend the 2010 National SAF Convention in Albuquerque, NM. They will also be participating in the Davis College Food, Fabric, and Forestry Week chili cook-off and ag-Olympics.

We strive to spark an interest for recreational activities among individuals within and outside the WVU Community. PRPS also creates opportunities for networking among WVU students through activities with other clubs in the Department of Forestry and Natural Resources.
