Remote sensing for forest monitoring🌲 disturbance & recovery🍃🔥 land use change
First time joining a podcast! 🎙️ Definitely still learning the art of improvising in this format, but it was such a fun experience. Huge thanks to Hans, Neda, and the whole team for making it possible and creating such a great space to talk about forest monitoring from space! 🛰️🌲🗺️
🎙️ New #ForestChats episode!

Dr. Hans Verkerk (EFI) & Dr. Alba Viana Soto (TUM) talk about the Next-Gen Forest Disturbance Atlas, which uses AI & satellites to track fires, storms, pests & harvesting across Europe’s forests. 🌲

Nesta conferencia exploraremos como a #teledetección —mediante satélites e datos espaciais— permite identificar, cuantificar e seguir a evolución dos danos #forestais, así como os procesos de recuperación #ecolóxica 🛰️🌲.

Esperámosvos!

Setting forests aside doesn’t stir up more trouble—in fact, it calms the chaos 🌳
Happy to see my first PhD chapter out! 📝
Setting aside forests for biodiversity conservation does NOT amplify disturbances in temperate forests of Central Europe.
