Seeing Trees from the Inside Out: The Future of Decay Detection

Tree failure can result in property damage, personal injury and even death. Commercial and municipal arborists are regularly called upon to evaluate trees for decay and defects that often are hidden from view deep within the trunk. New science-based tools are emerging to nondestructively "see" inside the tree.

• Examine the science of acoustic tomography and microdrill resistance technology
• Identify best practice protocols for their effective field use 
• Get up-to-date information on emerging tools for X-ray and Terrahertz scanning
