Your main responsibilities would be
- Development of full traceability of single trees along the forest value chain based on log characteristics
- Prediction of internal wood quality in standing forest for an early evaluation of sawn timber quality
- Wood quality prediction at the time of harvest: To combine harvester data, remote and proximal sensing data with site condition information to predict wood quality measurement at the mill.
- To include log/timber quality prediction in a decision support tools for a more efficient utilization
