Aims:
The workshop examines the application of contemporary computer based techniques for monitoring and modelling biophysical processes in tropical hillsides including the simulation of impacts of environmental change. The workshop concentrates on (a) the available technology, their application in a number of areas of specific importance for the LAtin american hillsides and (c) the role of these systems in supporting environmental decision making.
The workshop is directed at scientists in the fields of hydrology and cloud forest ecology with interests in the impact of climatic and land use change on these systems.
The seminars are published in :
