Dr. Maciej J. Soja has almost 15 years of experience working with SAR-based mapping and monitoring of forests. Since 2009, he is involved in the development of the ESA BIOMASS mission, with a particular focus on the development of a global biomass mapping algorithm. He also has substantial experience with TanDEM-X and Sentinel-1 data, both for measurements of forest properties such as height and biomass and for monitoring of forest change. He has been involved in many international projects, including the GlobBIOMASS project from ESA and the Advanced SAR project from EU.

Technologist and innovator in the forest industry. Mr Herries is very passionate about developing technology across the forest industry supply chain, including resource yield modeling and valuation, forest mensuration, log optimization systems, GIS, remote sensing, LiDAR, and carbon monitoring, translating them into impactful commercial solutions and services. Interpine aims to continually push for innovation and technology solutions to meet our client's needs, shaping today's forests with the technology of tomorrow.

He has been involved in developing Japan's first Earth observation LIDAR mission, MOLI, since 2016 as a researcher at the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency(JAXA). He specializes in optical sensor development and forest remote sensing

Clemens Mosig received his Bachelor's and Master's in Computer Science from Freie University Berlin. He is now pursuing his PhD in Earth System Data Science at Leipzig University working on applications of remote sensing data with a special focus tree mortality and forests.

Dmitry Schepaschenko has 30+ years research experience in the field of forest ecology, forest management and remote sensing. He is a coordinator of IUFRO working party "Boreal and Alpine Forest Ecosystems". His recent projects have included global and regional land cover, forest, and biomass mapping; full carbon account of Northern Eurasia; remote sensing applications; modeling of structure, productivity and growth of forests; adaptation and mitigation strategies under global change.

Nancy is the Research Director for Global Forest Watch (GFW), an international initiative originated by the World Resources Institute to provide improved information about the world’s forests by merging the latest technology with on-the-ground partnerships. Nancy identifies research priorities for GFW and leads the acquisition and generation of new data and analytical content. She collaborates with GFW staff and partners to produce and communicate original, policy-relevant research that further advances global understanding of critical drivers and dynamics of forest change. Prior to joining WRI led research at Winrock International on forest carbon cycling and spatial modeling of land cover change and provided technical guidance to multiple stakeholders on climate change mitigation options in the land sector. Nancy holds a B.S. in Biology and Environmental Studies from Tufts University and a Ph.D. in Systems Ecology from SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry.
