The 20th Symposium on Systems Analysis in Forest Resources ( SSAFR 2024)

The 20th Symposium on Systems Analysis in Forest Resources (SSAFR 2024)
Happening on 13–17 May 2024 in Hondarribia, Basque Country, Spain, the 20th Symposium on Systems Analysis in Forest Resources (SSAFR) will focus on remote sensing, forest modelling, management and planning and much more.
Since 1975, SSAFR has been the premier international forum for forest systems analysis, operations research (OR) and decision science.
The SSAFR community has been the primary contributor to almost all key forest management and planning research during the past century, e.g., harvest scheduling, supply chain, forest health, spatial optimization, wildland fire risk management, simulation, stochastic process, and forest and fire economics. The SSAFR community also embraces the opportunities of emerging new data science technologies and the challenges of global climate change.
SSAFR is an inclusive and diverse international community that welcomes collaborators and speakers from different countries and backgrounds. SSAFR is also committed to providing a supportive environment for new forest students and researchers. This year, the symposium will be organized together with the annual conference organized by the DecisionES project.
This 20th symposium will accept abstracts related to the following subjects:
- Application of Remote Sensing In Forestry
- Forest Modelling
- Forest management and planning
- Forest transportation and supply chain optimization
- Wildfire risk simulation, management and decision support
- Forest health, invasive species, and wildlife habitat management
- Spatially explicit optimization
- Stochastic process simulation and optimization
- Quantitative forest and fire economics
- Forest and watershed management
- Data science and machine learning
- Forest systems analysis under the impact of climate change
