December 16th Tree Canopy Professionals’ Seminar

Keynote Presentation:

Trees and forests as nature-based climate solutions in the United States

We are very excited to have Grant Domke, US Forest Service as a keynote this year! Grant is is a research scientist and leads the Carbon Portfolio in the Forest Inventory and Analysis Program within the United States Department of Agriculture Forest Service. Domke studies how carbon is cycled through forest ecosystems and harvested wood products in the U.S. using strategic-level forest inventory data and auxiliary information. He leads the team responsible for compiling estimates of greenhouse gas emissions and removals in forests, woodlands, and harvested wood products each year as part of the United States’ commitment to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. Domke has also led chapters in the Fifth National Climate Assessment (currently underway), the Second State of the Carbon Cycle Report, and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change guidelines for national greenhouse gas inventories.
