Findings so far suggest that causes include predation by introduced mammals, loss of habitat, and competition with a co-occurring species, the green-backed firecrown, which arrived from continental Chile in the late 19th century. Hagen’s work on the island reflects her interest in invasive species roles’ in native ecosystems, island ecology and conservation, and the development of community environmental stewardship. She says “Although my focus is now on this tiny island in the middle of the Pacific that most people have never heard of, its conservation challenges are mirrored worldwide.” This year Hagen was awarded the UW’s Huckabay Teaching Fellowship, awarded to nine graduate students from across the UW each year.

Our graduates are leaders in natural resources and public and private land management throughout the state, the region, and the nation. The management of natural resources for products and environmental services is vital to political, social, and economic decisions made every day by leaders and citizens and is a key element in our state and regional economy. As faculty members in universities throughout the country, our graduates are educating the next generation of leaders in natural resources and environmental issues. Our faculty research topics of regional and global importance, including fire ecology, ecological restoration, invasive and endangered species, urban sustainability, global warming, forest productivity, and pulp and paper processing, and natural resources policy. Committed to the integration of teaching and research, they provide students with real-world experience and hands-on learning in our region’s urban-to-wildland laboratory. Our academic programs use the array of biological-social interactions in the Pacific Northwest as a learning environment for problem-based, interdisciplinary inquiry. We offer undergraduate programs in environmental science and resource management (ESRM) and paper science and engineering (PSE). Graduate study areas include environmental horticulture and urban forestry, forest ecology, forest soils, forest systems and bioenergy, paper science and engineering, restoration ecology, social sciences, sustainable resource management, and wildlife science. Our outreach and technical transfer programs provide knowledge and training focusing on international trade in forest products, precision forestry, regional natural resources, urban ecosystems, and environmental horticulture. Our partnerships include formal interdisciplinary links across campus as well as collaborations with academic institutions, federal, state, and local governments, industry, and Native American natural resources managers.

Scholarship support is widely available in both majors; nearly one-quarter of the College’s students receive scholarships each year. Both majors provide opportunities for internships, international study, and undergraduate research. An honors program is available in both majors. The Environmental Science and Resource Management (ESRM) major gives students interested in learning about natural and human-dominated landscapes a broad, flexible undergraduate science degree with an opportunity to select one of four program options or to design their own upper-division coursework.. • ESRM is an open major (any student can declare). • ESRM is transfer friendly. • ESRM allows for over 50 free electives. • ESRM offers four transcripted options— wildlife conservation; landscape ecology and conservation; sustainable forest management; and restoration ecology and environmental horticulture — or students can design their own upper-division coursework. • ESRM can easily combine with minors and double degrees. The Paper Science and Engineering (PSE) major is designed for students seeking training in chemical and physical sciences and chemical engineering as applied to manufacturing fiber products, fuels, and chemicals from biomass resources. It emphasizes the application of mathematics, chemistry, and engineering to paper and related bioresources-based industries. •PSE is an engineering program accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, 111 Market Place, Suite 1050, Baltimore, MD 21202-4012 - telephone: (410) 347-7700. •PSE provides extensive faculty contact and active student groups. •A 5th year double degree option with Chemical Engineering is available.
