Folks, Registration soon closes for the IUFRO Wind and Trees Workshop: Wind Effects on Coastal Forests. You can access registration here<https://www.eventbrite.com/e/wind-impacts-on-coastal-forests-including-mangrove-forests-tickets-1112628374419?aff=oddtdtcreator>. Registration deadline is January 25.
This workshop will cover the following topics: * Measuring biomass and stand structure using terrestrial laser scanning * Measuring wind stress and failure in forests * Communicating climate-smart forestry practices This workshop is aimed at those who would like to learn techniques or improve their skills measuring wind effects in forest systems, including mangrove forests and/or work with resources for climate smart communication. Though we focus on coastal forests because our hurricane-prone location, the skills are transferable to any forest system. We encourage students, post-docs, technicians, and anyone who wants to improve their skills in these topics to attend. The 3-day program is aimed at demonstration and practice, including instrumentation options, field set up and operation, and data cleaning and analysis. (Plus online resources for climate smart forestry.)
