Dr. Elaine Oneil serves as the Director of Science and Sustainability for CORRIM (Consortium for Research on Renewable Industrial Materials), a university research consortium that has spent the last 27 years conducting life cycle inventory and life cycle assessments on wood products from cradle to grave. She is also the Executive Director of the Washington Farm Forestry Association, a small forest landowner organization in Washington State that is 70 years strong. Dr. Oneil has spent nearly 40 years in the forest sector, starting in forest operations and management, transitioning to research on climate change, timber supply modeling and analysis, forest carbon dynamics, life cycle assessment of forest operations and wood products, and most recently into the public policy arena as it pertains to forest sustainability and land management. She has Bachelor of Science in Forestry from the University of British Columbia and MSc and PhD degrees from the University of Washington. She likes to use her interesting work history to link science to practice when quantifying the impacts of the forest sector on terrestrial carbon stocks and climate change.
