Using remote sensing data to build a nationwide forest inventory

The talk will compare different types of remote sensing, such as radar, Lidar, and multispectral imagery, and cover ways that foresters can engage with this technology and products developed using it. Remote-sensing supported datasets are being used to inform new methods for quantifying fire risk, forest inventory, and unlock forest carbon for natural capital marketplaces. Dr. Pond will share the history and technology behind SilviaTerra's national Basemap dataset, built in collaboration with Microsoft's AI for Earth program, as well as discuss other similar high-resolution forest inventory data products.
SilviaTerra has recently announced a new marketplace for woodland owners of any size interested in selling forest carbon credits, and more information for landowners and foresters is available at www.silviaterra.com/ncapx/lan... SilviaTerra offered a webinar that might be of interest. Here is a link to the recording, for more information. tinyurl.com/silviaterra-ncapx

Excellent, thank you. Hopefully more data will be integrated to analyse and deal with the challenges of climate change on forest management.

China is destroying the planet with pollution while Americans pretend a carbon tax is the answer.
China has tripled its energy usage over the last twenty years.... while using some of the cheapest and dirtiest production methods known.
So, while the Americans destroy their economy thru FedGov forced green initiatives, China is actually growing an economy based on 1940’s coal technology. SMH
