GRS Releases Galena Forest (Biomass) Inventory and Management Plan Report

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 partially 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 and Workshops 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.

We have posted the slides from a recent land cover mapping accuracy assessment presentation at ASPRS based on work performed at Lassen Volcanic National Park by Ken Stumpf on our Remote Sensing Downloads page.

We have posted the slides from a new land cover mapping presentation by Ken Stumpf on our Remote Sensing Downloads page.

GRS Densitometers for Education Program

GRS is pleased to announce the continuation of our GRS Densitometers for Education Program.  Since 2009, GRS has been providing GRS Densitometers to qualified academic institutions for reduced cost or no-cost.   As of 2014 GRS has provided the GRS Densitometer to over 30 academic institutions in six of the seven continents of the world.

GRS was awarded an Environmental Services contract from the General Services Administration (GSA), the purchasing arm of the federal government.
