CONFERENCE INFORMATION:
The International Union of Forest Research Organizations (IUFRO) Forest Sector Modeling Working Party WP 6.11 (originally part of the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) Forest Sector Project) is planning a conference in the USA, resuming a past tradition. The meeting will offer new and old researchers interested in forest sector modeling (FSM) the opportunity to catch up with developments from around the world. The conference will mix plenary, concurrent sessions, focused panel discussions, and input from key FSM users in forestry, forest industry, and policy planning. Plenary sessions will feature invited speakers, notable in forest sector modeling, with reviews of state-of-the-art FSM applications in major forest sector regions. FOR MORE INFORMATION:
