The Modeling for Human-And-Nature Interactions (MoHANI) group is led by Takuya Iwamura, and housed at the Department of Forest Ecosystems and Society, College of Forestry at Oregon State University. We want to answer pressing land/forest related sustainability questions by revealing the mechanisms of the human and nature interactions. Our interests at the nexus of biodiversity conservation, human health and food production in wide range of landscapes.
For us, modeling is a way to tell a unique story with unambiguous and transparent language and to guide us through often complex interactions. Since human and natural processes share "space" in common, spatial analyses comes handy to investigate deeply interdisciplinary investigation. Our approach also includes, depending on a project, computer simulation, remote sensing and drones, biological sampling and community interviews. We believe in dataset with the strong emphasis on biological and social evidence.
Our group moved to Oregon in January, 2021.
