FirstAnnouncement
Aerialand Satellite Methods and Gis-Systems in Silviculture and Forestry
TheFourth Russian Nation-Wide Conference
(withinternational inputs)
18-19April 2007, Moscow, Russia
Key issues to be discussed:
– Up-to-date and promising means and methods for active and passive remote sensing of forests in optical and radio ranges.
– Aerial and satellite methods, GIS-technologies and GPS- systems in forestry (for purposes of forest inventory and management planning, forest fire and pest management, forest use surveillance, etc.) and landscape construction.
– Aerial and satellite methods for assessing biospheric functions of forests University- and college-level training of forest professionals in applying aerial and satellite imagery methods in forestry and landscape construction Institutional and legal issues related to the use of aerial and satellite means and methods and GIS in forestry.
Goals:
– To provide an opportunity for information sharing among research officers, trainers from universities and colleges, practitioners, forest officials, specialists from organisations designing aerial and space remote sensing equipment and producing satellite imagery to identify the most important forestry and silvicultural problems and ways to address them using space equipment, GIS-technologies and geo-positioning systems.
– To discuss a range of issues characterizing the level of R&D, operational methods and technologies and the status of their implementation.
– To discuss issues related to training in aerial and satellite methods and GIS-technologies in forest universities and colleges.
