Dear Colleague,
In the framework of the activities developed by the Silva Mediterranea Working Group on UPF, a dedicated Task Force (led by Mr Artur Gonçalves from the University of Braganza) has been created to work to the definition of indicators for the assessment of urban and peri-urban forest in the Mediterranean context.
I am now sharing with you the link to access a survey launched by the Task Force to collect inputs to define basic characteristics that should be met by the indicators to assess urban and peri-urban forests at municipal level in the Region: https://forms.gle/L61H9hNnaBQqSwGA8
Should you wish to contribute to this effort, we invite you to compile the survey by Wednesday 25 November, for the task force to elaborate the results in time for the XII Workshop of the WG (next Thursday 26 November). On that occasion, in fact, a dedicated working session will be held by the Task Force (see Session 3 in the agenda attached) to inform participants on their advances and involve other colleagues from the Region to brainstorm on how to overcome identified barriers/challenges to the implementation of this activity.
Thank you in advance for your contribution.
Best regards,
Michela Conigliaro

Cher Collègue,
Dans le cadre des activités développées par le groupe de travail sur la Foresterie Urbaine et peèriurbaine de Silva Mediterranea, une Task Force dédié (dirigé par M. Artur Gonçalves de l'Université de Bragance) a été créé pour travailler à la définition d'indicateurs pour l'évaluation des forêt urbaine dans le contexte méditerranéen.
Je partage avec vous le lien pour accéder à une enquête lancée par le Task Force pour collecter des contributions pour la définition des caractéristiques de base des indicateurs a utilizer pour évaluer à l'échelle municipale les forêts urbaines et périurbaines dans la Région Mediterranèe : <https://forms.gle/L61H9hNnaBQqSwGA8> https://forms.gle/L61H9hNnaBQqSwGA8
Si vous souhaitez contribuer à cet effort, nous vous invitons à compiler l'enquête d'ici le mercredi 25 novembre, afin que le Task Force élabore les résultats à temps pour le XII Atelier du GT (qui se tiendra jeudi prochain, 26 novembre). À cette occasion, en fait, une session de travail dédiée sera organisée par le Task Force (voir Session 3 dans l'ordre du jour ci-joint) pour informer les participants de leurs progrès et impliquer d'autres collègues de la Région pour réfléchir à la manière de surmonter les obstacles/défis identifiés vers la mise en œuvre de cette activité.
Nous vous remercions d'avance pour votre contribution.
Meilleures salutations,
Michela Conigliaro

Subject: Nov 17 @ 5 pm CET - online seminar with MATT HANSEN: Global forest monitoring using satellite data
Dear all,
please note that the International Tree Mortality Network, an initiative of the IUFRO task force on monitoring trends and patterns in global tree mortality, is offering a series of online seminars. These seminars will take place as online web seminars in regular intervals (6 to 8 seminars per year).
Our kick-off meeting will take place on Nov 17 (5 pm, CET) and we are happy to announce our first speaker:
MATT HANSON, University of Maryland, author of the GLOBAL FOREST WATCH
Global forest monitoring using satellite data
Abstract: Earth observation data enable the monitoring of forest extent and change from national to global scales. Consistent processing of time-series images has made possible the operational production of global tree cover extent, loss and gain products. However, attribution of dynamics in the context 1) reference state, for example forest type, 2) change factor, for example fire or logging, and 3) outcome, for example land use type or natural recovery, is more challenging. In addition to mapping, the requirement to perform robust sample-based analyses to report on all themes is underappreciated. This talk will review our work on characterizing forest dynamics at the global scale using multi-source satellite imagery, including mapping and sampling, in the context of current operational versus future aspirational capabilities.
Please join us for this highly interesting seminar and register at: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_zVb6sQhlQwSKM8GTrI5epA
