1. Join us for Silvilaser 2010, the 10th International
Conference on LiDAR Applications for Assessing
Forest Ecosystems
September 14th - 17th, 2010
Freiburg, Germany
SilviLaser 2010 will bring together research scientists and practitioners from around the
world to share their experience in the development and implementation of LiDAR for
forest applications. Topics will cover different laser systems, from all possible platforms
across a full range of forest and forested landscape applications. The conference is
made up of six session themes:

Conference Background
SilviLaser 2010 is the 10th international conference in a series focussing on applications
of laser systems for forestry and forest landscapes.
Previous conferences have taken place in Canada, Australia, Sweden, Germany, USA,
UK, Japan and Finland.
Conference Aims
SilviLaser 2010 aims to bring together research scientists and practitioners from around
the world to share their experience in the development and application of LiDAR for
forest and forest landscape applications.
At SilviLaser, the state of the art of laser systems and data processing techniques, as
well as multi-sensoral data will be demonstrated and discussed, as well as how to meet
the information needs of researchers and practitioners working in forestry and forested
landscapes .
The conference is also aimed to develop and encourage strong links between
researchers and practitioners in forestry.
