Agroforestry can be a variant of continuous cover forestry or close-to-nature forestry. I think this is a very important point.

🛰️🌿💻 #PostDoc Alert! PhD in #EnvironmentalSciences, #RemoteSensing or #ComputerVision, and sound ecological knowledge of #biodiversity? You work comfortably with statistical computing and scripting languages? We offer a 2-year PostDoc position: apply.refline.ch/273855/1792/... #ecology #ScienceJobs
Job offer: PostDoc “Remote Sensing for Biodiversity Monitoring” – Eawag-WSL BiMo Initiative (80-100%, f/m/d) A key component of an effective biodiversity strategy is rapid and scalable monitoring. Eawag and WSL have extensive expertise and experience in novel biodiversity monitoring approaches. The new Biodiversity Monitoring initiative (BiMo) aims to strengthen this research portfolio and generate effective practice implementation. BiMo has a strong focus on method development and outputs with high relevance for stakeholders. In addition to the remote sensing project for which we are recruiting here, BiMo comprises two further projects that will obtain information from eDNA and image analysis, with the joint objective to strengthen capacities at Eawag and WSL for developing and implementing biodiversity monitoring methods. In this project, you will examine the potential and applicability of remote sensing technologies and data (2D, 3D, active and passive sensors on different platforms) to assess and monitor terrestrial and aquatic biodiversity. You will adapt existing methods and available data on national scale to swiftly enhance ongoing monitoring programmes, identify gaps and unsolved issues and design new avenues. You will be actively involved in a large BiMo joint research proposal aimed at third-party funding. You hold a PhD degree in environmental science, remote sensing, computer vision or an equivalent field and have sound ecological knowledge of biodiversity. You work comfortably with statistical computing and scripting languages (e.g. R, Python). You are highly motivated to analyse data using sophisticated methods and tools. Good communication and organisation skills, an excellent team spirit and fluency in German or English with very good knowledge of the other language are mandatory. The project is led by Christian Ginzler (WSL) and Dr. Daniel Odermatt (Eawag). The successful applicant will be based and hired in the group of Christian Ginzler at WSL.

As part of the project, you will investigate new perspectives on how urban planning in cities across Europe can engage stakeholders to transform paved areas into thriving green spaces. You will work on case studies, comparing different urban planning contexts. You will track successful initiatives, identifying the planning instruments, models and approaches that make reverting soil sealing possible. Furthermore, you will engage in dissemination of project findings among the scientific community, urban planning practitioners and the broader public. Collaboration with international project partners will be geared towards scaling up the findings and jointly publishing results. For this position, you hold a PhD degree in spatial planning, governance or a related field.
