The objective of the ASYNC project is to develop methods to provide improved up-to-date information of forest resources, particularly regarding carbon stock and attributes needed in forest management. We incorporate airborne 3D remote sensing data into the country level forest map that is updated annually. This requires the use of field and remote sensing datasets acquired in different years. The key research question is how to consider these asynchronous datasets in the analysis. The research is implemented in the Natural Resources Institute Finland together with national and international collaborators.
