Dear members,
The following editorial has just been published in Landscape Ecology:
"Building green infrastructure to enhance urban resilience to climate
change and pandemics
<https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10980-021-01212-y>"
This editorial is based on the webinar on "Urban Green Infrastructure:
How can urban green infrastructure contribute to pandemic and climate
resilience?" of the "IUFRO Landscape Ecology WP Webinar Series -
Emerging issues in landscape ecology" that took place last November.
We thank again Daniele La Rosa, Simona R. Gradinaru, Francesca Ugolini
and Jianguo (Jingle) Wu, for their participation and their wonderful
contributions.
The video of the webinar is still available at: https://youtu.be/DACfMSfZVHQ
The next webinar of the series will take place in April 2021, in
collaboration with the IUFRO Radioactive Contamination of Forest
Ecosystems WP (8.04.07) under the topic "Forests in Fukushima and
Chernobyl - people, wildlife and landscape”. This co-organization will
happen 10 years after the Fukushima disaster. Stay tuned for updates!
Best regards,
João Azevedo

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
If you are interested in contributing to the seminar series and/or have suggestions for additional speakers, please contact us at: <mailto:treemortnet@gmail.com> treemortnet(a)gmail.com
