Senior GIS and Remote Sensing Expert specialising in LiDAR, forest inventory, geospatial modelling and environmental applications of remote sensing & GIS.
Dr. Syed Adnan serves as Senior GIS and Remote Sensing Expert at Oy Arbonaut Ltd., Finland, a company working with Remote Sensing (LiDAR) and GIS technologies for multifunctional and sustainable forest management. Earlier, he was a postdoctoral researcher at the School of Forest Sciences, University of Eastern Finland and Department of Forestry, University of Helsinki.
He holds a D.Sc. in Forest Science and an M.S. in Remote Sensing and GIS. His work combines remote sensing, geospatial analysis, forest inventory and quantitative modelling to develop practical approaches for forest resource assessment and environmental monitoring.
