FIA Symposium 2012

	Moving From Status to Trends Baltimore, MD December 4th - 6th, 2012 (Venue is yet to be determined)
October 2012 will mark the 20th anniversary of the Report of the Blue Ribbon Panel on Forest Inventory and Analysis. This report expanded the focus of the national forest inventory in the United States to include monitoring of the forest resource trends on a more frequent time interval. In recognition of this milestone, the theme of the 2012 FIA Science Symposium is "Moving from Status to Trends." The Symposium will bring together international forest scientists, managers, and stakeholders to share insights on contemporary issues, science policy, mensuration, geospatial products, inventory and monitoring methods, and other topics. Present the role of National Forest Inventory (NFI) in aiding policy and management decisions Discuss monitoring versus inventory and how they work together Exchange of forest monitoring science and technology across international borders Share the latest studies on trends using time series data Provide a forum for linking issue-focused analyses with techniques development Highlight cutting-edge mensuration, modeling, and related science Showcase collaborative efforts and foster continued work with NFI partners Display state-of-the-art science and tools Communicate utility of NFI data and analyses to the broader user community Provide an environment that fosters networking and scientific exchange between inventory professionals Venue and Registration Details are Forthcoming
