About the Program:
Global Forest Watch
The World Resources Institute’s (WRI) Forest Program w orks with governments, businesses, and civil society to sustain forests for future generations. We aim to curb deforestation worldwide and help restore and reforest already-cleared land. With these goals in mind, the Global Forest Watch (GFW) initiative makes the best available data for monitoring forests accessible online. By harnessing cutting-edge technology, GFW allows anyone to access near real-time information about where and how forests are changing around the world.
GFW Pro
Recognizing that the agricultural industry is essential for human well-being yet is often associated with tropical deforestation, the GFW Pro team focuses on developing monitoring solutions for commodity supply chains. With the online application GFW Pro , companies, financial institutions and other entities can securely monitor and manage for deforestation risk in areas they buy from or invest in. To ensure the continued utility and impact of GFW Pro, the team works closely with these stakeholders to identify, pilot and integrate new solutions into the platform.
GFW Research
As part of the broader GFW initiative, Global Forest Watch’s research team of GIS Analysts and researchers collaborates with partners to collect and analyze forest data and produce meaningful insights for day-to-day users, local governments, and other stakeholders, while also providing near real time forest monitoring platforms for local NGOs and forest monitoring organizations. GFW’s research team conducts research on the causes and consequences of forest change around the world, generally at large spatial scales with remote sensing-derived products. The research team collaborates with teams throughout WRI, as well as external partners. The research team creates new geospatial forest-related data sets for inclusion on GFW platforms and analyzes existing data.
Job Highlight: The Research and GFW Pro teams are engaged in an initiative to include greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from forest loss in GFW Pro, in compliance with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol’s forthcoming land sector guidance for companies. This will allow companies to report supply chain GHG emissions alongside deforestation using GFW Pro. This position will carry out GIS analyses to support the inclusion of emissions in GFW Pro.
Four initial stages of work will be: 1) testing different permutations of calculating GHG emissions from forest loss (different data sets, different methods) with the Research and Pro teams, 2) working with a few companies with substantial land-based GHG emissions to pilot emissions methods with their own data, 3) calculating emissions from deforestation globally due to supply chains, and 4) working with the GFW Pro engineering/website team to include emissions calculations in the GFW Pro platform. After emissions calculations have been included in GFW Pro, this position will conduct other analyses (carbon and not carbon-related), both to support GFW Pro and as part of the larger GFW research team.
This position requires experience programming with geospatial data, automating tasks, and large-scale analyses. Familiarity with forest carbon monitoring an d corporate supply chains is required . Opportunities for outreach and engagement will also be available.
