- #Biodiversity #3D #lidar @esa.int #LPS25 Can we use 3D data to understand the structural component of tree biodiversity? Please join us in the first Terrestrial and Freshwater Biodiversity session here at Living Planet 2025 🌳 to find out! Room 0.96/0.97. lps25.esa.int/programme/pr...
- Amazing turnout in the session! Thank you all for attending! 👏👏👏
- Reposted by Atticus StovallWe got a message from the university to remove any use of the "DEI", "diversity", "equity", or "inclusion" from all public-facing documents. They said that even "biodiversity" is being flagged by the federal government. We live in the dumbest timeline.
- For anyone interested in #remotesensing of #biodiversity check out the live stream of the #BIOSPACE25 meeting. Many interesting talks coming up, so tune in if you can! biospace25.esa.int/live-stream/
- Day 1 of the BIOSPACE25 Meeting at @esa.int. 🛰️ I’m so excited to spend this week focused on understanding 🌍 biodiversity and finding solutions to #biodiversity loss. An amazing group of scientists and organizations represented here who can certainly make a difference!
- “BIOSPACE25 is the FIRST international conference dedicated entirely to space-based observation of biodiversity” 👏👏👏
- Coming back from a week of laser scanning fieldwork where I originally worked on my PhD and it was surreal. I've not been back for 10 years and, while some areas of the forest seemed almost frozen in time - others are experiencing massive dieback. A decade provides a lot of perspective.
- This one site had virtually ZERO canopy cover. Ash and Oak decline is deeply impacting the forest.
- 🚨 ‼️ NEW PAPER ALERT ‼️ 🚨 So honored to be included in this amazing effort led by Zoe Pierrat et al on proximal remote sensing. 👏👏👏 This work synthesizes loads of great info across the board - with keys discussions on synergies and a path forward for global proximal sensing networks!
- New Tansley review paper from Zoe Pierrat & friends in @newphyt.bsky.social linking proximal remote sensing with ecosystem fluxes! Synergies and best practices for hyperspectral reflectance, SIF, thermal, microwave and lidar 🌈🌲🗼🛰️🧪 nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
- Reposted by Atticus StovallThere's now so many awesome #geospatial people here it's hard to keep track! 🤩 Here's a thread of some of my favourite starter packs so far - let me know what I've missed! 🛰️ Earth Observation & remote sensing: go.bsky.app/4PMRhNL 🌏 GIS: go.bsky.app/TJ7qQF6 @milos-makes-maps.bsky.social (1/n)at://did:plc:43fcqnhdhzfpdxlbaj7kyjlu/app.bsky.graph.starterpack/3l4hobcbpri26
- Reposted by Atticus StovallRegistration for CA Tree School in Santa Cruz County is officially OPEN! Reg closes in March and the event is April 5th in Felton! Students get to choose from over 25 classes for a day of forestry education like no other. This event is SO COOL. ucanr.edu/sites/forest...
- 🎉 New Paper Day! 🎉 A great collaboration between the GEDI team and DLR led by Wenlu Qi! Integrating GEDI + TanDEM-X for pantropical mapping of canopy height, paving the way for better biomass maps. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
- Compared to other optical products the TanDEM-X SAR canopy height is unaffected by clouds and was LESS biased and LESS prone to saturation in maximum canopy height estimates.
- Download the TanDEM-X GEDI Fusion Canopy Height map and check it out! 🤩 daac.ornl.gov/VEGETATION/g...
- As you might expect, TanDEM-X height estimates improve across the board with a higher threshold of GEDI shots per calibrated grid cell - but the tradeoff is a reduced number of observations. Finding this balance can depend on the availability of GEDI data.
- Reposted by Atticus Stovall🚨We are recruiting one or more new Lecturers/Senior Lecturers in Biological Sciences (broadly defined, including ecology & global change) here in Bristol @bristolbiosci.bsky.social Apply and spread the word - Bristol is a wonderful place to live and work! Feel free to get in touch with questions.
- Super excited to present our #NASA work on #3D #biodiversity traits in #forest #ecosystems at #AGU24! 🌳 We are working to understand convergent and divergent structural traits (dry forests today). Biodiversity + 3D visuals + global ecology? Stop by 151A at 11:00 agu.confex.com/agu/agu24/me...
- Biodiversity session starting now. 151A. #AGU24
- Excellent #NASA #Bioscape #biodiversity session happening right now! 149B. Already packed, but room for more! #AGU24
- Glorious talk from Anthony Campbell mapping estuary biodiversity in South Africa. 👏👏👏
- How does wildfire severity (and other factors!) affect pyrogenic organic matter? 🔥🔥🔥🌲🌲🌲 Super cool talk from @atkinsjeff.bsky.social #AGU24
- Reposted by Atticus StovallDon’t forget Valencia, Spain. Don’t forget those who insisted that actions needed to avoid the #ClimateCrisis were “too expensive.” Don’t forget all the record-breaking, historic or “100 year” events we’ve seen lately. They’re not the “new normal. It’s going to keep getting exponentially worse.
- yes Yes YES!
- Reposted by Atticus Stovall🚨 New paper! 🌲🌲🌲 Monkey puzzle trees reproduce in mast years that occur synchronously across their range. But large-scale sync isn’t the norm - just when its warm. We reconstructed using #TreeRings, using the signal from varying reproductive costs in male and female trees doi.org/10.1002/ecs2.70087
- 👋 Introduction time for new faces/followers! 👋 I'm a 🌳 #ecologist exploring #forests in #3D trying to understand why #trees grow the way they do and why it matters. 🌍 I use #lasers and #remotesensing @ #NASA to study trees, #biodiversity, and #resilience 🌲📡 #Ecology #plantScience #nature #scicomm
- Love all of the great #trait based ecology mixed with environmental gradients coming out lately! 🤩
- 🔥 in Ecology Letters 🔥 #Traits describing hydraulic strategies and deciduousness explain the occurrence trends of almost 300 #rainforest #tree species across a steep rainfall gradient in Australia. #FunctionalTraits dx.doi.org/10.1111/ele....
