Achievement

On August 12, 2011, REACH IGERT trainee Noam Ross gave a presentation to GreenOrder, a New York-based corporate environmental strategy consultancy, about his research in ecological forecasting and how such forecasting can affect ecosystem service markets. GreenOrder is a strategy and management consulting group that helps companies gain competitive advantage through environmental innovation. The GreenOrder team and Ross discussed how industries such as forestry could make use of new forecasting techniques and how techniques from the ecological realm could be applied to financial market analysis. They further considered how to foster collaborations between businesses and ecological researchers. Ross's presentation was transmitted live via teleconference to the GreenOrder's parent company offices in Los Angeles and Washington, DC.
