Webinar: Resistance Drilling of Standing Trees for Commercial Inventory of Plantation Wood Quality, October 10, 2023 4:00 PM – 5:00 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada)

by Wang, Xiping - FS, WI

Dear colleagues, as the beautiful fall season starts in many parts of the world, I’d like to invite you to join the following webinar event co-organized by the Forest Products Society (FPS) and IUFRO D5.01 Wood & Fiber Quality Group. The webinar will be held on October 10, 2023 4:00 PM – 5:00 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada), through Zoom. Online registration (https://forestprod.org/events/EventDetails.aspx?id=1784697&group=) is open now. Our guest speaker is Dr. Geoffrey Downes, the Director and Senior Researcher of Forest Quality Pty. Ltd. Forest Quality, based in Tasmania, Australia. He will present the latest research and development on Resistance Drilling of Standing Trees for Commercial Inventory of Plantation Wood Quality (see attached flyer for detail information). Geoff has a focus on developing and operationalizing non-destructive wood quality assessment technology in commercial plantations. He has been involved in studying the causes of variability in wood properties for 35 years, with a focus on the physiology of wood formation as affected by environment. He has had some involvement with the application of SilviScan to forestry since starting with CSIRO in 1992. This involved using these high-resolution wood property measurements, together with tree growth (dendrometer) monitoring, to investigate links between environment, growth and sub-annual wood variability. Since 2015, the focus has been on applying resistance drilling to the estimation of wood basic density in standing trees, to support commercial applications.
