New for this year – the meeting with include an afternoon workshop led by Matt Russell of Arbor Analytics on Tuesday 11/10.

About the group: NEMO is an informal gathering of forest biometricians and mensurationists from across the northeastern U.S. and eastern Canada that has met annually since the early 1980s. The group stays deliberately small and collegial, with a mix of academics, agency scientists, and industry practitioners.
About the event: The point of our meetings is a real scientific conversation without the noise of a bigger conference. If you work on growth modeling, forest inventory, remote sensing calibration, or sampling design, this is the room where you’ll find your people. Graduate or even undergraduate students are very welcome, and there’s a strong mentoring tradition.
Who should attend: forest biometricians, mensurationists, growth and yield modelers, inventory analysts, remote sensing scientists, and anyone who thinks carefully about how we measure and model forests.
Registration will open by June 1.
