AWF-Wiki:About

Purpose of AWF-Wiki

AWF-Wiki is a platform for sharing information, knowledge and expertise in the context of forest inventory, natural resources assessment and remote sensing. The idea to create a Wiki for the special scientific fields covered here came up in 2009. The intention was to create a new and more flexible form of knowledge reference for our students.

AWF-Wiki and education

We will use AWF-Wiki to provide our lecture notes on forest inventory, forest mensuration and remote sensing in future. The basic idea is to integrate students as much as possible and to provide actual and reliable up-to-date content. We will enable the possibility to print (or download) the content from different categories as pdf file, so that students can create their own lecture notes. Further, all students who have an account will have the possibility to edit pages and also add new content. This opens the possibility for own contributions to this platform. As all students can probably also benefit after their studies in Göttingen we hope that this place will be developed to a sustainable source of information that will also be used by our alumni.
