The application of remote sensing to tropical forest inventory and monitoring
This conference marks the end of the first phase of the JRC-ESA TREES project which has focused on the development of remote sensing techniques for addressing tropical forest monitoring issues. The conference will report on current results and achievements in the fields of monitoring tropical forest ecosystems on regional and global scales. It will also provide an opportunity for other related programmes and projects to present their current activities and future plans. Finally, an extensive proposal by the Joint Research Centre, together with other services of the Commission, to initiate a TREES II project will be presented.
While only invited papers will be presented during the session, there will be space available for poster displays.
