Anyone interested in the topic

The FOREMA StatisticsLab Colloquium on “Recent Advances in Forest Modelling” will explore latest developments in simulating and modelling of forested ecosystems. The program will feature presentations on both established techniques and innovative, emerging approaches. The seminar will highlight recent developments in empirical, inventory-based forest growth models as well as in dynamic forest gap models. In addition, machine-learning driven forest models – an area that is rapidly evolving thanks to augmented computational capabilities and data availability - will be discussed.
The colloquium will provide an overview of current modelling tools and techniques and highlight their applications and limitations. It will offer a space for researchers to exchange ideas and discuss practical challenges in forest modelling.
