Chequamegon Nicolet National Forest Workshop

The Carbon Model Project sponsored a workshop at the Chequamegon Nicolet National Forest. The entire Carbon Model team, Tom Gower, Scott Peckham, Puneet Kishor, and Sam Batzli, drove up to the forest office in Park Falls, Wisconsin, where approximately 18 US Forest Service employees were in attendance.

Gower provided an overview of the two modeling efforts to track the whole system carbon balance for the biological forest and for wood and paper products. Scott discussed the ongoing modeling efforts using Biome BGC. Tom discussed the ongoing life cycle analysis modeling efforts. Puneet and Sam shared the vision for, and the ongoing development and implementation of, the web based Carbon Management tool. Linda Parker of the forest updated the workshop participants on other carbon related research efforts underway there.
