Forest field measurement & mobile computing innovations
ESRI's (one of the world's leading GIS Software companies) Forestry Manager, Peter Eredics, who is based in the US, will be presenting at ForestTECH 2009. He'll be providing an overview of international global geo-spatial technology developments and their application in this part of the world. In addition to data capture and inventory, forest management information systems, estate planning and wood and stand quality assessments will be covered in ForestTECH 2009. Linking wood quality resource descriptions to future forest management is increasingly being used by forestry managers. In addition to using acoustics to segregate wood to meet end users requirements, the Forest Products Commission has just completed studies in WA that looks at salvaging timber damaged by wildfires. Acoustics are being used to assess the rate of degrade after fire (with intensity) and to monitor degrade so that vulnerable areas are salvaged before areas that are likely to remain stable. This enables forest owners to maximise their returns through salvage operations. Details on this and other studies using acoustics as a management tool will be outlined at ForestTECH 2009. ForestTECH 2009 includes an integrated series of practical presentations, managed exhibitions, demonstrations and field visits. Major themes for ForestTECH 2009 include; - Forest Sampling & Inventory - Data Collection Tools - Forest Mapping - Remote Sensing - Forest Management Information Systems - Estate Planning, and - Assessment of Wood & Stand quality. ForestTECH 2009 will run in Rotorua on 10-12 November and again for Australian forestry staff in Albury, NSW on 16-18 November 2009.
