Recently, Haseen Ullah (哈辛), a last year doctoral student at the College of Forestry at our university, was invited to the 31st International Symposium on Sustainable Systems and Technology (ISSST 2024) held in Baltimore, Maryland, USA, where he delivered an abstract poster presentation on "Predicting Climate Change Impacts on Chines Pine Biomass in Northern China Using the 3-PG Model".

Haseen emphasized the vital role of such symposia as platforms for academics and researchers to exchange innovative ideas and insights related to sustainability in technological systems. Additionally, he quoted Eleanor Roosevelt, stating, "The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams."

Haseen shared his thoughts on the conference:

"It was an honor to participate in the 31st International Symposium on Sustainable Systems and Technology in Baltimore, Maryland (ISSST 2024). This premier conference addresses the sustainability of science and technology systems. The program covers a range of issues for assessing and managing products and services across their life cycle, as well as the design, management, and policy implications of sustainable engineered systems and technologies.

The symposium took place from June 17th to 20th. During the event, key areas such as agroecology, industrial ecology, bioeconomy, human dimensions of sustainability, energy and infrastructure systems resilience, and sustainability education and modeling were covered. It was an incredible opportunity for me to learn and engage with experts dedicated to advancing these vital fields. Presenting my research on forest modeling and its role in sustainable forest development highlighted the importance of the Physiological Processes Predicting Growth Model (3PG), innovation, and development under climate change."

The accepted abstracts for poster presentations are available on ISSST 2024 - ISSST 2024 - ConfTool Pro - BrowseSessions and https://www.conftool.org/issst2024/sessions.php.
