This is a topic that evolves constantly and keeping up with it only makes forest management better! Geospatial technology is used to acquire, manipulate, store, and display geographic information. The geospatial group at Texas A&M Forest Service performs timely spatial analyses and develops geospatial applications to facilitate informed decision-making in the management and protection of forest resources. This presentation will showcase several applications that are targeted to landowners, managers, government officials, local community groups, and the public, where we provide state-of-the-art access to information on forest lands across Texas. Join Shruthi Srinivasan of Texas A&M Forest Service, as she presents several applications that can help you accomplish these objectives.
