Integrated conservation, land use, remote sensing, and ecosystem dynamics in Central Africa
A talk by Dr. Nadine Laporte
Woods Hole Research Center
"Integrated conservation, land use, remote sensing, and ecosystem dynamics in Central Africa"
Location: Bowers Auditorium
Date: Monday, April 30, 2007
Time: 4-5:30 pm
Dr. Laporte is a biologist whose research centers on the applications of satellite imagery to tropical forest ecosystems, including vegetation mapping, land-use change, and deforestation causes and consequences. She has been involved in numerous environmental projects in Central Africa over the past ten years, working with in-country scientists, foresters, and international conservation organizations to develop integrated forest monitoring systems and promote forest conservation. She received her doctorate in tropical biogeography from l'Université Paul Sabatier in Toulouse, France.
