SUMMARY:Carbon sequestration in forests. - Dr David Coomes
DTSTART:20111027T151500Z

CONTACT:Dr Alex Archibald
DESCRIPTION:The world's forests currently act as a major carbon sink\, off
 setting a large proportion of emissions arising from land-use change and t
 he burning of fossil fuels. A key question is whether forests will continu
 e to act as a sink in the coming decades and centuries.  I will explore th
 is question using detailed information collected over 30 years in New Zeal
 and forests\, and consider the wider implications of our work. I will also
  discuss how airborne remote sensing technology is making it much easier t
 o monitor forests at the landscape scale.
