Please join us for this Carbon Budget Modeling Workshop! CBM-CFS3 is the "official" Canadian carbon accounting model and has been recommended for inclusion in all planning efforts. Forest-BGC and FORECAM are considered ecosystem type models and, as such, they handle the nuances of environmental change (e.g. climate, silviculture) in a more transparent fashion. The day will feature Dr. Juha Metsaranta, (Carbon Accounting Team, Canadian Forest Service) and Dr. Guy Larocque, (Research Scientist, Laurentian Forestry Centre, Canadian Forest Service). Both presenters will be available all day, the plan is to utilize the morning to work on one model and the afternoon to work on the other.
Both modeling approaches are complementary and you will surely learn something from sepnding time in the company of these knowledgeable and "user friendly" presenters! See you there.

During the evolutional course of Mother Nature and the conflict between man and nature, different kinds of natural disasters take place unexpectedly (i.e. earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, landslides, tsunamis, typhoons and floods). Uncovering the negative impacts of these natural disasters takes a long time. These disasters not only threaten the existence and development of humans, but also bring huge impacts to forests and ecosystems.
Responding actively to natural disasters while sustaining ecosystem health is a serious issue and a long term mission for the entire world. The upcoming conference aims at building a platform for forestry experts, gathering them together to study this severe situation.
Topics to be examined include, but not limited to:
1. Impacts of forest-related natural disasters such as debris Flow, landslide, earthquake, and countermeasures of destroyed forest restoration.
2. Monitoring, early warning, prevention and control techniques as well as measures to reduce loss on drought, flood, ice, wind (including Hurricane, tornado), hail, thunder, and fire.
3. Monitoring, early warning, prevention and control techniques as well as measures of forest diseases (such as fungus, bacterium, virus), pest, rat, rabbit and invasive species.
