DESCRIPTION:Field based studies have shown that the carbon stored in tropi
 cal forests is increasing\, presumably due to CO2 fertilisation. However\,
  the field plots on which these long-term studies are based are small and 
 are mostly located in more accessible areas. Combining machine learning wi
 th remote sensing data provides many opportunities to improve and extend t
 hese field measurements. We will discuss a few examples\, ranging from hig
 hly detailed terrestrial laser scanning to satellites. We will focus on th
 e problem of segmenting individual trees in remote sensing data. This is a
 dresses a key bottleneck between field data (which measures trees) and rem
 ote sensing data (which works in pixels).
