SUMMARY:Recent changes in Wisconsin's forests as seen by satellites\, 
 Chaos & Complex Systems Seminar\, Mutlu Ozdogan\, UW Department of For
 est and Wildlife Ecology
DESCRIPTION:Wisconsin's forests are changing rapidly as a result of co
 mmercial harvest\, disease and climate. However\, these changes are ca
 ptured only at the county or at the national forest scales and thus ar
 e not suitable for local scale hydrological\, biological\, and climate
  studies. Using satellite observations spanning three decades\, we are
  developing stand-level forest change maps at five-year intervals for 
 northern Wisconsin. Our maps show that commercial forest harvesting is
  a major form of disturbance in northern forests and as a result\, the
  size of contiguous intact forest blocks that are important for habita
 t and hydrological connectivity are diminishing. The seminar will walk
  the audience through some historical perspective on forest harvesting
  in Wisconsin\, show the impact of satellite technology in mapping har
 vested blocks\, and discuss the implications of forest change.<br>
