Conference Description:

Join us for two days with Frank Rinn! He will present condensed results from working 30 years in developing and applying diagnostic technologies and methods for tree-safety evaluation. The morning session will cover theoretical aspects, wood anatomy, biomechanics, and tree safety evaluation concepts. The afternoon outdoor-session will demonstrate practical applications of visually accessible safety aspects as well as resistance drilling (Day 1) and sonic tomography (Day 2) - in order to understand possibilities and limitations of all these methods.
