Excited to share I have joined the Kromdijk lab (@plantphys-cam.bsky.social) in Cambridge as a postdoc working on the spectral responses of peatland vegetation to thermal stress. Part of an interdisciplinary project with Super Sharp 🛰️

Near the surface, ozone isn't the protector we know it as - it's a toxic pollutant for both humans and ecosystems 🌳

On International Day of Forests, new research from @annaleejones.bsky.social shows that ozone pollution is impacting our own local Wytham Woods 👇

Our latest paper demonstrates hyperspectral monitoring of ozone damage in mature oak trees. We compared high res leaf reflectance at Wytham Woods (O3 polluted!) and the BIFoR forest, and accurately predicted O3 exposure from leaf reflectance alone via machine learning.🌳 🛰️

The poster I presented at BES24 on detecting ozone damage in temperate broadleaf trees using hyperspectral leaf reflectance has been awarded runner up for the Olivia Norfolk Poster Prize! Thank you @britishecolsoc.bsky.social

Poster is up (B6.3) at #BES2024 we’ve figured out a hyperspectral signal of ozone damage in broadleaf trees! Exciting potential for remote sensing ozone damage to forests, come chat at this evening’s poster session 🌳🛰️

I'll be presenting a poster at British Ecological Society Annual Meeting 2024 on Thursday evening on my ozone research, come have a look!

Taking a berry from a mistletoe this Xmas?

For our inaugural 🎄Christmas lecture 🎄on the 17th Dec at 6pm we have @biolliegist.bsky.social telling us all about his mistletoe research.

We caught up with Ollie for a sneak peak📽️
