Remembering Darius Adams July 5, 1944 - December 7, 2023 Professor Emeritus Darius Adams died peacefully, surrounded by family, on Dec. 7, 2023. As a top forest economist, he helped establish OSU as a worldleading institution for forest economics study. His tenure at OSU, from 1974 to 1984 and then from 1992 until his retirement in 2009, was marked by significant contributions to forestry and forest economics. Before retiring, he served as the interim department head in Forest Resources and FERM from 2007-2009. In 2023, Darius was awarded the Wallenberg Prize alongside Joseph Buongiorno and Richard W. Haynes. This honor, the highest award in forestry, is a testament to his impact and underscores his legacy. In remembering Darius, we recall a life well-lived, dedicated to advancing forest economics and nurturing future generations of scientists and thinkers. 15 FOCUS - FALL 2023
