Scientific Organizations

  • INFORMS Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences.
    Section on Energy, Natural Resources, and the Environment [link to WWW site].
    The section is organized to promote the development and application of operations research / management science methods, techniques, and tools to the solution of problems relating to energy, natural resources and/or the environment, encourage the exchange of information among pratictioners and users in energy, natural resources, and environmental applications areas, and to promote the maintenance of high professional standards in the application of operations research/management science to problem areas in energy, natural resources and/or the environment.
  • SARS Systems Analysis in Forest Resources. SAFR is an outgrowth of the Society of American Foresters (SAF) E4 Working Group (Management Science and Operations Research). [link to www site]
