"Africa Research Discussion"
Africa offers specific and unique conditions with regard to change in forest cover and condition. While CIPEC's research in the Western Hemisphere has allowed for a cohesive program to focus on forest ecosystems that are represented over significantly large areas of the globe, it is recognized that the significantly different institutional environments of Africa present unique challenges to our growing understanding of how human societies intersect with forested land resources. In this regard, CIPEC seeks to move forward with work in a select number of sites in Africa where in-country colleagues, research efforts, and datasets already exist. CIPEC research in these sites will serve to facilitate both comparative efforts and the testing of hypotheses from our work in the Western Hemisphere, and will further theoretical development, especially in those areas which diverge significantly from the Americas, such as the roles of land tenure, history, decision making, fragmentation, biodiversity, and carbon sequestration. Two sites in Madagascar and one in Uganda have been selected, and CIPEC is presently processing satellite imagery and planning for summer fieldwork. We present here the initial constructs of the research plan for Africa, and some of the relevant issues that have drawn us to these specific sites.

"IFRI Research Methods and 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.

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.

"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.

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.

"CIPEC's Biocomplexity Research"
We will introduce the concept of biocomplexity and CIPEC's new biocomplexity research project. Our work focuses on modeling land-use decisions at the household level in order to understand processes that lead to deforestation and reforestation during the "settled" period of Indiana's history and during colonization of a portion of the Brazilian forest. We plan to develop and compare two land-use modeling techniques: agent-based modeling and spatial econometrics.
