Remote sensing observations for the evaluation of the ecosystem functions and services in forests (Dr. Tomoharu Inoue)
Evaluation of the spatio-temporal variations in ecosystem functions and services in forests under the climate change and human activities is required for the establishment of inter-governmental and domestic policy. Remote sensing is one of the useful tools to observe the spatio-temporal variability of forest ecosystems at large spatial scale. From FY2011, the collaborative research project aimed at the detection of the spatio-temporal variations in ecosystem functions and services in forests by using remote sensing techniques was started by several research communities (JAMSTEC, FFPRI, and Chiba Univ.), with the support of the Ministry of the Environment of Japan (Environment Research and Technology Development Fund [S-9]). In this presentation, some results of the
S-9 project will be introduced. One topic will be the unmanned aerial survey of fallen trees in a deciduous broadleaved forest in eastern Japan (Inoue et al. 2014 PloS ONE).
Some experience of a field researcher in cold regions (Dr. Tetsuo Ohata)
As a scientist who has been mainly working on field research, and promoting them though the career, several experience will be introduced.
Some important topics related to data, field sites and international cooperation will be explained based on field research in various cold regions on earth. Hope that this talk will be some reference to the younger generations.
