ForestSAT

The Association for Forest Spatial Analysis Technologies (ForestSAT) was created to promote and advance the application of spatial analysis technologies in forestry. ForestSAT strives to facilitate cooperation among research organizations, universities, government agencies, and the private sector by fostering a science-based understanding of how spatial analysis technologies can be used to describe, monitor and model forested ecosystems. Recognized is an inherent need to integrate data from multiple remote sensing systems, field based observations, and other spatial information, using a variety of approaches. Numerous uses of spatial data are relevant, from addressing the needs of local forest managers, to informing forest ecosystem models, to establishing monitoring systems in support of international agreements.

Scion

Scion is a Crown Research Institute (CRI) for forestry in New Zealand and is at the forefront of driving sustainable forest management and innovation in the forestry sector. As New Zealand strives to be carbon zero by 2050, Scion is utilising the power of forests and technology to drive our country’s response. For over 75 years, together with its industry and iwi partners, Scion has led research that creates resilient planted forests and productive timber industries. Every day, its science reveals more about how we can unlock the forestry sector’s true potential, future-proof it for generations to come and support New Zealand’s transition to a circular bioeconomy.
