Want to do a PhD in remote sensing? Interested in mountain forest ecosystems? Then apply for a PhD position in our lab! You will be part of the newly founded Centre for Forest Management in the Alps, working on scaling tree productivity from tree to landscape scale. Deadline 21st September.

We had to change our summer retreat plans due to bad weather but Munichs technical museum was a great alternative. They even have a stuffed spy pigeon on display!

Were recent waves of large-scale forest dieback predictable? We say yes! A simple approach to describe temporal disturbance dynamics based on Taylor's Law. Now out in Nature Communications: rdcu.be/euG1A Thanks @tommaso-jucker.bsky.social and @rupertseidl.bsky.social for this great project!

Six years in the making and finally published! Our viewpoint on how to improve tree mortality monitoring. With in-depth discussion on how to improve ground-based monitoring, integration of ground-based monitoring with remote sensing and modelling, and fair and collaborative science: lnkd.in/dJgSRQHt
