"Sampling for Heterogeneous Forests"
We will discuss statistical problems that arise when we try to measure forests that are not homogeneous or uniform. We will begin with an introduction to basic sampling strategies. Then we will consider sampling techniques that can improve estimates of statistical parameters such as stand density, average dbh, etc., in heterogeneous forests. We will concentrate on the concepts of stratification (including methods of developing strata) and sampling in proportion to variability.

"Land Tenure and Legal Pluralism"
The field of legal pluralism has progressed quickly and impressively in recent years, with land tenure playing a significant role in its development. Legal pluralism generally denotes separate social fields of "legality" where different loci of authority overlap and interact. This interaction over time can take a number of paths from progressive legal reconciliation between fields to increasing separation or multiplication of fields, depending upon the nature of the interaction and attendant relevant sociopolitical, economic and resource-related forces. Legal pluralism with regard to land tenure signifies the different sets of rights and obligations about land and property, as these reside within multiple social fields or normative orders. This lecture will focus on the development of legal pluralism and will focus on the relationship between formal and informal property rights regimes, and the repercussions for land use and land-cover change in the developing world.

Lab: "Multi-Temporal Image Analysis"
In this lab, we will examine a three-date Landsat MultiSpectral Scanner (MSS) time series using several change detection methodologies. These procedures provide simple methods for quickly assessing the temporal change information content of a three-date Landsat image series. This quick assessment is vital when examining potential Global Change Research proposals by giving the user a rapid means of determining the major temporal trends in the image series.

"IFRI Research and Methods Discussion"
The International Forestry Resources and Institutions (IFRI) research program represents a truly collaborative, interdisciplinary, and international effort to study relations among forests, the people who use forest products, and their institutions for forest management. Fifteen collaborating research centers in thirteen countries belong to the IFRI research network. IFRI researchers use a common set of social and natural scientific methods and contribute their data to a growing international database. This session traces IFRI's history to earlier projects on common-pool resources and irrigation systems in the 1980s, introduces the IFRI conceptual model and methods for data collection, and explains the use of a relational database to store that data. IFRI's accomplishments will be highlighted through discussion of selected IFRI studies and their findings. The organization of the research program as a collaborative network and its implications will be touched upon as well.

"Linking National and Local Levels of Analysis"
The most important arena between the local and global levels of analysis is national in scope. It is dominated by governments and the actions of public and private agents. As countless studies indicate, state policies in the developing world create incentives for individuals, companies, and communities to destroy their forests. But, the mechanisms by which they do so are not entirely clear. This talk aims to bridge the gap between local and national levels of analysis by presenting a general model of why public authorities in developing countries enact environmentally destructive policies. It offers some stylized facts about states in the developing world and some theoretical principles about how governments interact with voters, bureaucrats, parties, and interest groups. By showing how economic interests interact with institutions at the national level, it also suggests how national policy may nevertheless lead to different outcomes at the local level.

GIS Lecture #3: "Spatial Data Representation"
Social and biophysical data may be spatially represented using a variety of techniques, each with specific elements of error and modeling appropriateness. This session discusses methods of representing spatial data and methods of transforming data to allow the integration of data from disparate sources. These data transformations include buffering, point interpolation, and the conversion of contour lines to Digital Elevation Models (DEMs).

"LUCC"
The Land-Use and Land-Cover Change (LUCC) Project is a Programme Element of the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme (IGBP) and the International Human Dimensions Programme on Global Environmental Change (IHDP). This Core Project is an interdisciplinary program aimed at improving the understanding of the land-use and land-cover change dynamics and their relationships with the global environmental change. From its inception, the planning and implementation of the project has actively engaged both the physical and social science communities, and this will continue to be an important modus operandi in the future.
