ForestSAT 2014 A conference promoting science-based applications of remote sensing and other spatial data in forested systems
4-7 November 2014 Riva del Garda (Trento), Italy www.forestsat2014.com<http://www.forestsat2014.com> ForestSAT 2014 is the 6th in a series of international conferences promoting scientifically based understanding of how spatial analysis technologies can help describe and monitor forested systems. ForestSAT 2014 will be held in the conference center located in the picturesque town of Riva del Garda on the north shore of Lake Garda, in the north east of Italy. Previous conferences were held in USA (2012), Spain (2010), France (2007), Sweden (2005), and Scotland (2002). Delegates typically represent research organizations, universities, agencies, and the private sector. Overview & Themes ForestSAT 2014 conference is aimed at promoting the integration of earth observation with other geo-spatial applications and traditional forest sciences. The conference covers all possible scientifically-based developments and applications of remote sensing and GIS tools for monitoring, mapping or modeling forest systems. Aiding a better understanding of their functioning, and supporting their inventory and sustainable management. Conference themes will include: • Forest mapping and inventory • Ecosystem modelling • Proximal sensing • Forest management and policy • Unmanned aerial vehicle • Data processing techniques • Education Abstract Submission Deadline for the submission of abstracts for oral or poster presentations is 30 April 2014.
