The lab explores sustainable forest management using spatial information technologies.
AboutAbout the lab
Approaching global environmental issues through forests
The Global Forest Environment Lab studies sustainable forest management using technologies such as geoinformatics.
Many of today's global environmental problems are related to forests.
Forests have a large impact on the environment and account for most of the Earth's biological resources, so how to use them sustainably has become a major challenge.
The lab studies forests, which hold the key to solving global environmental problems, and the environment surrounding them.
Key terms
- Geoinformatics
- Technology for using computers to collect and analyze location-based information, such as maps and satellite images
- Greenhouse gas credits
- Amounts of CO2 and other emissions that have been reduced or absorbed, converted into a form that can be bought and sold
- Woody biomass
- Wood materials, such as thinned wood and logging residues, that can be used as fuel or resources
ResearchResearch themes
The lab studies sustainable forest management, focusing on forests and their surrounding environment and using technologies such as geoinformatics. A major research theme is capturing forest environmental information at diverse temporal and spatial scales.
*Illustrative imageForest Environmental Information and Sustainable Forest Management
Based on the idea that using timber and woody biomass can help mitigate global warming, the lab works on estimating forest carbon stocks and CO2 absorption, predicting timber production and tree mortality, and developing forest management plans that balance environmental, economic, and social factors.
*Illustrative imageForest CO2 Absorption and the Use of Credits
Based on the Paris Agreement and the Kyoto Mechanisms, the lab estimates the amount of CO2 absorbed by forests. It studies how to use greenhouse gas credits based on these estimates, and how to predict woody biomass production.
