Revolutionizing Tree Management via Intelligent Spatial Techniques

Tree management is becoming a big issue in a variety of societal domains. In recent years, historic wildfires and blackouts caused by failures in tree management have increased in both quantity and severity, resulting in many deaths and financial loses in the tens of billions of dollars. Many communities are also suffering from massive tree loss (e.g., in the millions) that affects the health and well-being of citizens. These problems are likely to worsen due to climate change, aging infrastructure and population growth.
