FW: Registration is open: A century of National Forest Inventories – informing past, present and future decisions

by abstracts.nfi100

Dear colleagues, You can now register for the conference: https://nibio.pameldingssystem.no/nfi100years The abstract submission is open until 30 September 2018. Almost 100 years have passed since 1919 when Norway started field work for the world’s first national forest inventory (NFI). Since then, NFI objectives, techniques, and resources have all evolved in response to society’s changing needs. From decision support for national, regional and local forest policies, to international reporting under the Climate Convention, to forest health monitoring, societal requirements and challenges for NFIs are becoming broader. We take this unique opportunity to celebrate the first 100 years of NFI history by bringing together researchers and practitioners with interests in forest monitoring to reflect on past challenges and lessons learned and to improve future large-scale forest and landscape inventory programs. The conference will feature keynote presentations by internationally recognized experts in the field of forest inventory and monitoring. Please visit our conference website for more details, to submit your abstract and to register for the conference. The deadline for submitting abstracts is 30 September 2018: https://nibio.pameldingssystem.no/nfi100years We are looking forward to exciting keynotes by: · Arne Nothdurft, BOKU · Laura Duncanson, University of Maryland · Göran Ståhl, SLU · Christoph Kleinn, University of Göttingen · Ellen Bruzelius Backer, Norway International Climate and Forest Initiative · Gherardo Chirici, University of Florence · Anssi Pekkarinen, FAO Find out more: https://nibio.pameldingssystem.no/nfi100years Themes of the conference Improving future NFIs by learning from the past * What can we learn from historic data and long time series? * History of forest sampling techniques and measurement devices * History of remote sensing in NFI’s * How did and do NFI’s contribute to major debates like acid rain (“forest dieback”), climate change, and others? NFIs today and in the future * Importance of international cooperation – FAO, ENFIN, SNS, and others * Policy, regulations, funding, education * Sampling designs in various NFIs * Newly established NFIs in the context of REDD+ * How are NFI data used today? * Use of NFI data in research (e.g. modeling risk, growth and yield studies, climate change) * Informing critical environmental issues by monitoring biodiversity and other ecological aspects * Techniques for greenhouse gas inventories Cutting edge and futuristic inventory techniques and technologies * NFI’s and FMI’s – pathways to a fruitful synergy? * Evolution of NFIs from forest to landscape inventories * Remote sensing and sampling methods * New sensors and satellite missions * Dissemination of forest inventory data * Value of information * Informing precision forestry * New field measurement devices and technologies (TLS, photogrammetry, etc.) Please forward this mail to colleagues that may be interested in this event.
