Dr. David Candel-Pérez works as postdoctoral researcher at the University of Valladolid (Spain). His research interests are related to forest ecology and adaptive management in the context of climate change, dendrochronology, natural regeneration of forest species, nutrient cycling and soil properties. He is also focused on the development and evaluation of ecological models to simulate the influences of management, climate and other ecological factors on tree growth.

Inacio T. Bueno is a Postdoctoral Associate at the University of Florida (Gainesville, USA). He is a forest engineer (Ph.D.) with remote sensing, GIS, data science, and programming background. Currently, he works at the SilvaLab at UF, investigating the synergism of GEDI, Sentinel, and Optical data for assessing the impact of Hurricane Ian in forest ecosystems across the state of Florida.

Lania Holt is a Forest Management Scientist, in the Te Ao Maori team at Scion. Her research interests are in realising the benefits of new bioeconomic models using trees and forests, especially in silvi-agricultural food forest systems. In the last decade she has contributed papers and reports on research in; next generation, novel land-use systems, complex systems with adaptive governance, and new operational and carbon inventory. Lania has also co-developed and led three multi-year projects with Maori and she currently leads the Maori-native species research area in the Government funded Transforming Tree Phenotyping research programme. Lania is of Ngati Whakaue, Ngati Pikiao, Ngati Tuwharetoa, Ngati Kahungungu and Ngai Tahu descent, and is on the New Zealand Institute of Forestry Council that represents New Zealand forestry professionals and sets policy direction with the goal of enhancing all forestry types.

Miss Naila Yasmin is a Remote Sensing GIS Expert from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations based in Headquarters in Rome. With over twelve years of experience, her expertise lies in Satellite Land Monitoring, MRV, Activity Data analysis, fire monitoring, and near real-time surveillance. She has actively contributed to capacity-building efforts, particularly under the UN-REDD Programme, emphasizing the application of remote sensing for sustainable land management.

Dr. Corrao has experience throughout the U.S. serving multiple Tribal Nations, State, Federal, and private industrial managers on forestlands affording him a unique perspective in natural resource services and research. Mark has more than 20 years’ experience in natural resource field data collection, academic research, environmental policy, and leadership. As adjunct faculty, Mark serves as a mentor for graduate students in the College of Natural Resources within the University of Idaho. He position as CTO and owner focuses on working with ALS and TLS data-supported tools within the ForestView® software platform to support tactical and operational uses of Lidar for resource management and fire risk purposes. Mark holds a B.S. in Forest Ecosystem Management, M.S. in Watershed Hydrology, and a multi-disciplinary Ph.D. in Soils Physics and Environmental Law.

Pete has always been keenly interested in how remote sensing technologies such as satellite imagery and LiDAR can be applied to monitoring landscapes, natural resources and land-use change. His specialities include a practical understanding of remote sensing data and its application and the design of natational and project scale monitoring and alert systems.
