Abstract: On 2nd February Dr Cris Brack took leave from his position as Associate Professor (Forest Management, Measurement and Modelling) at The Australian National University (ANU) to become Professor and the inaugural Chair of Forestry at the Waiariki Institute of Technology in Rotorua. The School of Forestry, Wood Processing and Biotechnology within the Institute has a long history of teaching Diploma students in forest management, operations and wood processing, but was keen to increase its research and academic potential. Cris’s 14 years experience in developing the research and teaching of forest measurement and management in the Australian National University made him ideally suited to help develop the Institute’s potential in this area.
