Geographic Resource Solutions

January, 2013 – In late January Geographic Resource Solutions (GRS) released the Galena Forest Inventory and Management Plan Report developed for a consortium of the Louden Tribal Council, the Galena School District, and the City of Galena, Alaska. This report describes the detailed vegetation/land cover/biomass inventory developed for approximately 1.25 million acres of wildlands in the vicinity of Galena that was used to estimate forest growth and biomass availability and project the magnitude and sustainability of future harvest levels through the end of this century. This information will provide the basis for a determination of the feasibility of developing biomass fueled power generation for the community of Galena. This Project was funded by grants from the Alaska Energy Authority and the Bureau of Land Management.

GRS has recently posted the two presentations made by Ken Stumpf of GRS, Director Of Remote Sensing Applications, under the Remote Sensing Page of our Presentations, Publications, and Software subject.  These presentations were titled Accuracy Assessment, "The Emperor's New Clothes," and Other Fairy Tales and The Lassen Volcanic National Park Comparative Mapping Project - Preliminary Results.

Two versions of The Lassen Volcanic National Park Comparative Mapping Project - Preliminary Results were posted.  One version has notes that describe information shown on many of the slides, whereas the other version does not.

For further information about these presentations or the materials contained within them, contact Ken at GRS by email or phone.
