Excited to start my postdoc at NMBU @uninmbu.bsky.social
I’ll be working on remote sensing and forest biodiversity in the BioDivAbove project: linking forest structure, deadwood, and fungi to big-picture ecosystem patterns.

We’re thrilled to welcome our new postdoc, Rachel Kuzmich, to the team!

Rachel will be using multi-sensor multi-temporal remote sensing data to examine climate-related forest change.

Excited to have her join us!

A warm welcome to our new postdoc, Arvin Fakhri.

Arvin will be exploring potential direct links between biodiversity and remotely sensed data across different scales, with the goal of producing a wall-to-wall biodiversity map of a demonstration area.

We are very happy to have him onboard!

🌲🌳Tre naturskogskartene ble publisert tidligere denne uken. Presisjon av kartene er etterspurt. Tidligere resultater tilsier at presisjonen er 75 - 85%, men kartet viser mer naturskog enn det faktisk er.
