Euan G. Mason (born c.1953^ )[1] is Professor at the School of Forestry at the University of Canterbury in Christchurch, New Zealand.

Biography

Mason was born in Invercargill, New Zealand but raised in Lower Hutt and Geneva before moving on to New Jersey. His hobbies include astronomy, music, computer programming and football.[2]

His main research areas include silviculture, growth and yield modelling, hybrid modelling and decision-support (applied artificial intelligence).[3] He is skilled in the field of dendrology, the identification of tree species. He was editor of the New Zealand Journal of Forestry from 2006.
