Call for Papers
FIA 2022 — The 2022 FIA Stakeholder Science Meeting
November 15–17 in Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota*
Hosted by
USDA Forest Service, Northern Research Station, Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) program
National Council for Air and Stream Improvement (NCASI)
Grow. Adapt. Regenerate: Monitoring and responding to global change to promote resilient and productive forests
FIA 2022 provides a forum for practitioners and scientists with regional, national, and international forest inventory and monitoring missions to exchange technical knowledge in fields such as data visualization, statistical inference, and remote sensing inventory techniques. We invite presentations that help advance the goals of:
- Maximizing the spatial and temporal value of the U.S. national forest inventory sample design;
- Integrating more powerful and efficient monitoring technologies and statistical techniques into established analysis lines;
- Supporting FIA’s expansion in areas such as enhanced timber product monitoring, improved carbon/biomass estimates, enhanced ownership study, land cover/use research, urban forest inventory, monitoring of Interior Alaska, and small area estimation;
- Advancing the development of delivery tools to meet client needs and take advantage of ever-expanding options for data visualization and communication; and
- Assuring data continuity that supports a variety of land manager needs.
Publication of Proceedings: Submitted abstracts will be digitally distributed at the meeting. Meeting presenters are encouraged to further document their contributions by submitting an article to a special issue in Frontiers in Forests and Global Change or an extended abstract for inclusion in a General Technical Report to be published shortly after the conclusion of the meeting. (See the proceedings for FIA 2019 at www.fs.usda.gov/treesearch/pubs/60966.)
