“Emerald Ash Borer Host Mapping Project in Milwaukee: An Applied Model “
Wednesday, March 24, 2010, 2:00 PM (Eastern)
with David B. Sivyer, Forestry Services Manager, City of Milwaukee, WI and Ian Hanou, AMEC Earth & Environmental, Inc., Denver, CO
This webcast will present an overview of the first known successful urban tree classification (ash) utilizing highly emergent hyperspectral imaging technology. The work, undertaken by the City of Milwaukee, WI in cooperation with federal and state agencies, as well as remote sensing experts, was completed in February 2009 with an overall ash classification accuracy of 84% and up to 93% accuracy for larger ash trees. This project was fundamental to Milwaukee’s multi-faceted strategy for EAB readiness and response planning. The webcast features David Sivyer, Forestry Services Manager for the City of Milwaukee and Ian Hanou, Project Manger for AMEC Earth and Environmental.

“New England Forests 2100: Evaluating Climate-driven Changes in Northeastern North American Forests”
Friday, March 26, 2010, 11:00 AM (Eastern)
Lindsey Rustad, Research Ecologist USDA Forest Service, Northern Research Station, Durham, NH
This webcast session will introduce current research findings focusing on understanding ecosystem response to global change, using climate-driven changes in Northeatern North American forests. An overwhelming scientific consensus exists that 20th century human activities have induced dramatic and unprecedented changes in the earth’s chemical and physical environment. As such, the response of terrestrial ecosystems to this global phenomenon has been the subject of intense scientific scrutiny over the past several decades. Although much has been learned about terrestrial ecosystem response to these perturbations (e.g. climate change, acidic deposition), urgent and immediate needs remain to continue to build a sound scientific basis for regional, national and international policies regulating such things as carbon sequestration, greenhouse gas emissions, and atmospheric deposition of nitrogen, sulfur, and mercury.
