Dr. Donahoe has strong technical skills in executing complex environmental planning studies and modeling projects and has published in peer-reviewed international journals on forestry and landscape conservation. He also supported research on Sustainable Forest Management for the National Science Foundation that would generate $5B in ecosystem services for forest systems. He has supported NEPA guidance development and analyzed the effects of a wide range of federal actions including military training (BRAC, transformation, military training, weapons fielding, aircraft beddowns, airspace reconfiguration, land acquisition, restationing, range construction, and MILCON), forest management, energy projects, facility development, port development, transportation, recreation, natural resource management, permits, and civil works.
