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
