Biometrics
Working Group Meeting Material
The BWG
is administered by NCASI.
The BWG organizes meetings where knowledgeable forest biometricians
from academia, government forestry agencies and industry discuss
technical issues. Meeting topics are often related to the USDA
Forest Service Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA)
program. However, technical issues on carbon monitoring or
sustainable forestry are also of interest.
