Department of Remote Sensing Application in Forestry

1. Introduction

        Department of Remote Sensing Application in Forestry - DRAF was established in July 2014 with a young, enthusiastic and dynamic staffs contributing effectively to the implementation of programs, projects, scientific and technological subjects of the Institute. Particularly, the department is deeply involved in the activities of the National Forest Inventory and Inventory Project for the period 2013-2016 and contributes to the overall success of the project, giving prestige to the Institute. At present, there are 6 staffs, including 1 staff in the Russian Federation. Development orientation of the department is to research, apply GIS, remote sensing and information technology to propose solutions for sustainable development of the forestry sector in the context of climate change as well as actively participate in training, technology transfer related to professional fields. The staff members actively promote the solidarity to develop and determined to perform well-assigned tasks.
