teleKyoto:
Vegetation mapping and biomass estimation using
modern remote sensing methods
under the United Nations Convention on Climate Change and the Kyoto Protocol
Aiming
- to address the national commitment to the UN Convention on Climate Change, the Kyoto Protocol and the EU law, as well as
- to systematically assess the available forest biomass, which is a key factor in the study of global warming, using remote sensing data
5 leading laboratories in the field of remote sensing, joined their forces in the implementation of a project which
- develops on the international scientific literature and the research experience of the partners
- promotes knowledge transfer through partnerships with acknowledged international researchers from foreign institutions
- uses remote sensing data of the latest technology
- explores and suggests innovative operational methodologies,
- occurs in Greece for the first time and
- disseminates knowledge and expertise gained during its course,
thereby contributing to
- identifying a modern and systematic way of assessing the biomass of Greek forests, and
- generating reliable, integrated and timely forest biomass data
