*2011-08-14**NRMI: NATURAL RESOURCE MONITORING ITEMS OF INTEREST*

This Issue: */Mapping Green Energy /*and Some Other Good Things

*MAPPING GREEN ENERGY.*Last month, we had a request from Dr. Saied 
Pirasteh, Malaysia, seeking any papers and websites on the mapping, and 
modeling potential renewable energy sites (such as solar, wind, waves 
and geothermal). Here are some sites that may be of interest. If you 
know of others, please contact Saied at moshaver1380 at gmail.com

Forests, Woodlands, and Communities through Biomass use*. Utah State 
University, Logan, Utah, USA. The conference will examine how woody 
biomass harvest can facilitate land restoration projects while supplying 
much-needed fuel for renewable energy. Talks will focus on how biomass 
harvest can occur in ways that improve the ecological and financial 
feasibility of restoration projects. The conference will have a dual 
focus on the ecological effects of woody biomass harvest, and the 
technology of woody biomass harvest and use. Discussions will appeal to 
land managers and owners, researchers, and business people. For more

*WFI International Fellowship Program *--The World Forest Institute 
(WFI) is a program of the World Forestry Center, which also operates a 
museum, event facilities, educational programs and demonstration tree 
farms. The World Forestry Center is an educational non-profit 
organization.The WFI Fellowship brings professionals in natural 
resources --- such as foresters, environmental educators, land managers, 
NGO practitioners and researchers --- to conduct a practical research 
project at the World Forestry Center. In addition to projects, fellows 
participate in weekly field trips, interviews and site visits to 
Northwest forestry organizations, state, local and national parks, 
universities, public and private timberlands, trade associations, mills, 
and corporations. The Fellowship is a unique opportunity to learn about 
sustainable forestry from the Pacific Northwest forestry sector, and to 
work with colleagues from around the world. Fellowships are open to any 
country (including the U.S.), and there is a matching grant from the 
Harry A. Merlo Foundation. Over 80 fellows from 26 countries have 
participated to date. Applications are now open for Spring 2012 for 
Fellowships beginning any time after March 2012. For more information, 
please contact: World Forestry Center, 4033 SW Canyon Road, Portland, 
Oregon 97221, USA.
