Please note the following event on GIS and tropical forests!
“Geoinformatics for Tropical Ecosystems - tools for conservation and
management”
a session at the
*Annual Conference of the Society for Tropical Ecology (gtö)***
*"Tropical Ecosystems - Between Protection and Production"***
25-28 February 2014, Freising
http://www.gtoe-conference.de
/Chaired by/:
*Prof. P K Joshi*and *Dr Joachim Schmerbeck*, Department of Natural
Resources, TERI University, New Delhi India**
*Dr C P Gross*, Albert Ludwigs Universität, Professur für Fernerkundung
und LIS, Freiburg Germany
Understanding the complex structure and function of tropical ecosystems
necessitates synergetic adoption of measurement tools at plot level
inventories as well as spatio- temporal database on the dynamics of
these ecosystems. To achieve this, importance of geoinformatics -
essentially a combination of tools such as Geographic Information System
(GIS), satellite remote sensing, Global Positioning System (GPS), and
information and communication technologies (ICT), are realized as
complimentary systems to field-based studies. This proposed session
would addresses how a wide range of geospatial tools can be used in
assessing, monitoring and management of landscape in tropical ecosystems.
We invite abstract for oral and poster presentation on the theme. The
discourses and presentations should cover landscape ecological
application tools, and the required data from different spatial extents
that cannot be collected through only field-based methods.
We plan to select presentations from different geographic regions to
discuss the innovative approaches in respective countries to regulate
biodiversity at different spatial and temporal scales in terms of
natural and anthropogenic impacts, and the effects, responses, and
indicators in terms of structure and function. Additionally, we would
also look into the future plans and newer approaches in terms of
requirements and adoption of these technologies.
We invite you to submit abstracts for oral and posters presentations for
this session through the conference web page
(http://www.gtoe-conference.de).*Deadline for submitting abstracts:
November 30, 2013.* The number of poster presentations is not limited,
and you are permitted to be a co-author on multiple abstracts.
The online registration is open. For details on early registration and
deadlines please see the conference web page
(http://www.gtoe-conference.de).
With Best Regards
Joshi, P.K.
