With Dr. Terri MacDonald, our Chair of Regional #Innovation and Director of #AppliedResearch, sharing my #CoOp experience with the #RDI 👥🗺🌲 and some #GIS #applications for #healthcare 🏥🗺🚑 at the “Celebrating #Scholarship” event promoted by #SelkirkCollege #Nursing #School 👨🏻‍⚕️🎓👩🏼‍⚕️ So grateful for this invitation and for the all other opportunities given me to work and learn!

and this was my #poster for the session this #GISDay! 🗺 QUANTIFYING THE VOLUME OF WOOD-WASTE USING #UAV #IMAGERY FOR BIOMASS UTILIZATION 🌲♻️🚜🔋 “Any #timber that is merchantable, was not reserved for #cutting and was not removed from the #cutblock is called #woodwaste. From 2004 to 2008, a total of 351.8 mi cubic meters were harvested in BC, of which 15 mi cubic meters (4.3 %) were wood-waste. (#Forest Practices Board 2010). #Harvesters measure their #waste primarily for cut control and stumpage fees, but there are estimates that 60% of the world #renewable #energy can be in the form of #biomass #fuel by 2030 (IRENA 2014), so, since #wood is the largest biomass energy source today (World Bioenergy Association 2016), the need for accurate and quick estimation of residue has never been greater. (Davis 2017).”

Happy #GISDay! 🌎✨ Today #SelkirkCollege had a #postersession with students 🗺🎓 and a #VR #VirtualReality Forest Demo 🕶🏞 in the morning as well as the keynote speaker Brendan Pauls, from #UrbanSystems, 👤 speaking about “GIS for #Sustainable #Infrastructure #Planning” 🗺♻️🏙 in the afternoon! How was your GIS day? ❓

With the #SGRC faculty and #CoOp team during this summer. Really grateful for working and learning with these people. 🗺 Photo from the SGRC website: “Closing the Gap Between #GIS #Professional and Our Clients” - http://sgrc.selkirk.ca

Stories from the panel were also shared with a lot of #art! #GIS #drones #wood #biomass #logistics 🖍⛰🌲🚛🗺

Sharing my #CoOp experience with the #EducationalCouncil at the “#ExperientialLearning Panel” directed by Rhys Andrews, VP of #Education and now former Dean of #AppliedResearch at #SelkirkCollege!

Today my heart is located in #Brazil, where is #FathersDay! 🛰💙🗺🇧🇷📍 Day to thank my biggest supporter, #dad! Thanks for everything! May God bless you for many other days like this wherever you are! Feliz #DiadosPais! Love you!

Beyond other areas to #forestry #innovation, like #GIS, #GeoVisualization or #LIDAR, the #SGRC has expertise in #UAVs and is providing all the support to access #volumecalculations of #woodwaste piles – one of the challenges to the local #biomass #commerce and only one of many other applications of #drones to the #forest #industry! In this quick video, you can check a first #UAV flight and the #3D #DSM model to run the calculation on #Correlator3D. 💡🌲📐📸☁️

#Forestry is the foundation economy of 140 communities in #BritishColumbia, and 40% of regional economies are dependent on forest products (Council of Forest Industries – 2016), contributing with $ 7 billion (3,4%) to the provincial #GDP (Forestry Innovation Investment – 2017) 🌲🇨🇦 The interior is responsible for 80% of the #lumber production, 74% of the #timber #harvest volumes and for 50% of the #pulp and #paper #production, and #wood, object of this #RDI project, is the largest #biomass #energy source today! 💡♻️ This way, there’s an emerging opportunity to commercialize the forest residuals, but unfortunately, nowadays most of the provincial #woodwaste is #burned, increasing the emissions to the #greenhouse and the risk of #wildfires 🔥🌎❌
