Wind risk modelling workshop on the application of ForestGALES/fgr - IUFRO 8.03.06 ‘Working Unit Impact of Wind on Forests’.

by Tom Locatelli

Dear all, We are delighted to announce a 3-day workshop on the application of ForestGALES/fgr held at Forest Research (Northern Research Station) just outside Edinburgh, from 9-11 April 2024. Myself and Barry Gardiner are organising the workshop together with the IUFRO 8.03.06 ‘Working Unit Impact of Wind on Forests’. The workshop deals with various aspects of wind risk modelling that can be addressed with ForestGALES/fgr. The program is an exciting mix of talks, working on examples, and a field trip to Queen Elizabeth Forest Park near Aberfoyle to look at complex forest stands and discuss the associated wind risk modelling challenges that come with multi-purpose forestry. There is a possibility of bringing your data and discussing and solving related issues. The sign-up fee is £100 for non-students and £50 for students. All lunches will be provided. An ice breaker event is planned for Monday the 8th of April for those who can be there. The number of participants is limited to 30. Please save the date! Registration is open at: IUFRO ForestGALES/fgr Workshop 2024 - Registration Form (office.com)<https://forms.office.com/Pages/DesignPageV2.aspx?prevorigin=shell&origin=Ne…> More information about the workshop can be found in the registration form. For any questions about the workshop, please do not hesitate to get in touch.

The Tropical Forest Foundation was active from 1990 to 2015, with independent branches in Brazil, Indonesia, and Guyana, South America, continuing today. The TFF was a unique forum that engaged industry, conservation and researchers in productive dialogue about tropical forestry. The TFF had much impact by developing techniques and demonstration projects for low impact logging for the tropics, and the influence of the TFF continues today.
