 Goals 

The purpose of the Growth Model Users Group is to promote the exchange of ideas, tips/techniques and issues involving the use of forest growth models in the Pacific Northwest.  Membership is open to anyone.  Meetings are held 3 to 4 times a year, usually in the Portland, Oregon/Vancouver Washington area.

The format of our meetings is informal.  Sessions usually start with a couple of presentations from practitioners or developers.  Presentations are followed by discussion and feedback.

To join our group, please enter yourself on our mailing list.

Hamann (Forest Informatics Inc., Corvallis, OR, USA) has just be published by Springer.   Forest Analytics with R combines practical, down-to-earth forestry data analysis and solutions to real forest management challenges with state-of-the-art statistical and data handling functionality. The authors adopt a problem-driven approach, in which statistical and mathematical tools are introduced in the context of the forestry problem that they can help to resolve.
