2008 GADA Annoncement

(see an example of how to use this form if you need help)

This workshop is intended to provide both a theoretical background on GADA related modeling and practical exposure to operational problems in this area and their implications for forest management. The teaching and discussion language will be English. The lectures and discussions will cover the background and the latest developments in this area, as well as the practical issues associated with development and implementation of the self-referencing models in general. The registration fees are $300 for students and $700 for non-students. If you register after June 8 the fees will be $350 and $750 accordingly. This workshop will cover derivation and implementation of various GADA equations, and you are encouraged to bring any of your own data that might be useful for self-referencing modeling. You will not need to share the data with anyone but you will benefit more from the workshop if you use for the exercises your own data. This workshop may well result in a group publication(s) and will certainly offer great opportunities for future collaborations.
