  PT-3e    
1  Inventory and sampling for acquisition of sample data from vast forest resources that cannot be directly measured or even observed in their entireties;
2 Mathematical modeling for conceptualization and definition of complex relationships describing spatial and temporal changes;
3 Statistical analysis for sampling inferences, model parameter estimation, and spatial relationships;
4 Database management for administration of inherently large sets of data;
5 Geostatistics and analysis of GIS data for analysis of spatially-explicit adjacency interactions and associations;
6 Simulations and Operation Research for analysis of populations’ distributional properties and finding solutions to complex nonlinear systems of interactions; and
7 Scientific Computing and Numerical Analysis for carrying out the simulations and nonlinear searches necessary to answer questions depending on massive numbers of calculations, and for processing very large data sets including satellite imagery, GIS data, forests’ inventories, and other data.
