- Reposted by Kim CaldersNew paper by Wout Cherlet & @qforestlab.bsky.social team led by @kimcalders.bsky.social, comparing tree extraction methods from TLS data. TL;DR it's hard to automate, ecosystem dependent & parametric approaches currently outperform DL www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

- Reposted by Kim Calders🆕 The first stunning images from our groundbreaking #Biomass satellite mission have been released – they mark a major leap forward in our ability to understand how Earth’s forests are changing and exactly how they contribute to the global carbon cycle 🌳🌍 www.esa.int/Applications...
- Reposted by Kim CaldersOur new perspective on the use (& misuse) of what we're calling virtual forests (rather than digital twins!), for forest change from space, led by @kimcalders.bsky.social w many great colleagues 🔭 🧪🔬 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
- Job Alert! We are hiring a new PhD candidate to work with me and @louiseterryn.bsky.social on multitemporal terrestrial laser scanning for better understanding forest structural dynamics at @qforestlab.bsky.social . More info ➡️ bit.ly/449NunA Apply here ➡️ bit.ly/3I5AnMP Application deadline: Aug 3
- Our campaign in the Blue Mountains is coming to an end. Since late April, we have been scanning several plots covering different vegetation types (33 done currently) within the Blue Mountains Hub for Ecology & Conservation. [1/4]

- Job Alert - Come work with us at @qforestlab.bsky.social! I'm hiring a postdoctoral fellow in vegetation remote sensing and radiative transfer to work on my @erc.europa.eu SPACETWIN project (spacetwin.ugent.be). More info ➡️ www.ugent.be/en/work/scie... Deadline: March 7
- We are currently in Patagonia for our @ercresearch.bsky.social project #SPACETWIN, looking at the impact of caterpillar (Ormiscodes amphimone) disturbance on the Nothofagus forests. This is a @qforestlab.bsky.social collaboration with the team of Roberto O. Chávez from PUCV in Valparaíso [1/4]

- Wouter & Wout from @qforestlab.bsky.social are currently collecting TLS data at the Caxiuanã through-fall exclusion (TFE) experiment for our #ERC SPACETWIN working with our Brazilian collaborators and Patrick Meir. Continuing the TLS time-series that was initiated by @matdisney.bsky.social [1/2]
- The TFE has been running since 2001. With the roof being taken off now, it becomes a recovery experiment. In collaboration with the University of Edinburgh (UK) and The Universidade Federal de Para & Museu Paraense Emilio Goeldi (Brazil). [2/2]
- Reposted by Kim CaldersImportant finding for impact modelers by @kornhuber.bsky.social et al.: Climatic extremes change faster/ more severely than anticipated by climate models. The consequences anticipated with impact models (based on climate model-driven forcings) might thus be conservative. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
