Anyone who hasn't heard Ken James speak needs to! He has done some fantastic research into how trees move. This is a must-see for anyone in the upper midwest.

Wednesday July 14, 2010
Ken James is an engineer with the University of Melbourne, Australia and has been working with arborists and trees for the last fifteen years. He has developed a special research area investigating tree biomechanics and particularly using dynamic methods. A joint project with Dr Brain Kane, University of Massachusetts, has resulted in new data and the results have been published in international journals.
Brian Kane is the Massachusetts Arborists Association Professor of Commercial Arboriculture at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst. His research focuses on tree risk assessment, evaluation of arboricultural techniques, and tree worker safety. Current projects include measuring the effect of pruning on the dynamic response of trees, measuring forces and stresses associated with rigging, and evaluating ascenders for use on climbing ropes.
