Marcus Wallenberg Prize

Marcus Wallenberg Prize

Nicholas Coops, professor in the Faculty of Forestry at University of British Columbia (UBC) and Canada Research Chair in Remote Sensing (I), is part of a research team that won the 2020 Marcus Wallenberg Prize (MWP).

The MWP is considered the world’s highest recognition for excellence in forest industry research.

Known as “the Nobel Prize of the forest sector,” Coops shares this year’s prize with colleagues Richard H. Waring of Oregon State University and Joseph J. Landsberg of the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization in Australia.
