German engineer Lothar Göcke of Aargus Electronic Gmbh will present sonic tomography during an April 19 workshop on tree decay detection at the Southern University Ag Center.
A principal engineer during development of sonic tomography since 1997, Göcke will discuss sonic tomography, electric impedance tomography, and static tree pulling tests for assessing tree stability.
Topics will include: sonic tomography for detection of tree decay; electric impedance tomography and how to use it in combination with sonic scans; instruments for tree pulling tests; and effects of Hurricanes on trees.
On-site demonstration of the electric impedance tomography and pulling test instruments.
The workshop begins at 10am in Room 138 of the Southern University Agricultural Research and Extension Center, A. O. Williams Hall, in Baton Rouge. (Directions at http://www.suagcenter.com/directions.html )
To participate, request a registration form from Dr. Yadong Qi, professor of urban forestry at yadong_qi(at)suagcenter.com or (225) 771-2242.
The workshop is free and open to the public. Hosted by the Southern University's Ag Center and and Urban Forestry Program.
