SAF Winter Meetings - Forest Inventory Trends

SilviaTerra has been traveling all over the east coast this winter giving talks at many regional SAF meetings.  This year we spoke at:

• Appalachian SAF in Durham
• KY/TN SAF in Bowling Green
• Allegheny SAF in Baltimore

The turnout for these meetings was great.  The Allegheny SAF meeting in particular had incredible attendance - over 100 members in the audience!

Great turnout for the Allegheny SAF meeting

We were invited to share some of the trends we've seen over the past 6 years working with forest inventory technology.  We discussed five major trends we've seen and how we think they're changing the way forestry is practiced:

• Mobile Technology
• The Cloud
• Automated Expert Analysis
• Big Data
• Iterative Simulation

I've included our slides below.
