Still want to make cleaning biodiversity data shrimp-ler? 🦐

Good news: We just updated our Cleaning Biodiversity Data in R book, so you still can! We've updated data for 2025, added new content & fixed lots of silly typos 😀

Live the shrimp-le life:

We were delighted to host a research exchange with colleagues from @CzechGlobe 🇨🇿 in Berlin! 🌍

We discussed forestry-focused remote sensing, explored opportunities for future collaboration, and visited study sites like the #sensorfield in Brandenburg. 🌲📡

Thanks for the great visit!

#TeamScience
We are visiting our study site in the forest. Under tall pine trees our technichian shows a station with a solar pannel that is used to send data collected on the site to an online dashboard. Together we are looking at small oak seedings in mossy undergrowth that grow beneath the big pine trees to form a new forest generation. Some small oaks are tagged with numbered blue plates. Their size is remeasured every year. In the background one can see a station with sensors that measure air temperature, humidity and light intensity. We dig up a soil sample to see how much organic material is present on the forest floor. One can see a small pit and one of our senior researchers feeling how sandy the soil is.

20 plots, hundreds of #Riegl TLS scans, thousands of berries… 🌲🫐 and a million laughs.
Norway field campaign = success! 💪
Now we are back in Berlin and ready to process our data.

Shoutout to our amazing field crew:
Arvin, Asad, Chiara, Ephraim, Johann, Marius & Miriam!

Our fieldwork is in full go – our team is out in the woods every day batteling rain, swamps, sheep and running from cows – the dangers you find in northern Europe 😉 – all with the #Riegl on our shoulders.
But check out these stunning views we get in return! It’s all worth it.

We are getting ready to head to Norway! 🌲🌾🌲
Our team will collect terrestrial laser scanning data to on the connection between forest structure and biodiversity – we are looking forward to two weeks in the beautiful boreal forest north of Oslo.
And we are prepared for swampy conditions 😉

🛰️ Spending 5 months at the Remote Sensing Lab, Freie Universität, to advance my research on protected area management. Grateful for this opportunity and looking forward to the Norway field trip with this amazing team! – chiaramansi93.bsky.social 🌳 #remotesensing #conservation #Erasmus+ #biodiversity

On our idyllic GeoCampus Lankwitz, smart sensors track tree growth, soil moisture & light of some of our many trees. TLS scans turn trees like "Rosie" 🌳 the chestnut into stunning 3D models 👓. #TTN #SmartForestry #IoT #TreeGrowth #LoRaWAN #ForestEcology #SensingFUB

🌳 In Brandenburg, we’ve set up a TTN-connected station to monitor soil moisture & light intensity—exploring how these factors affect young oak seedlings growing under mature pines. Stay tuned for more news from our #sensorfield!

🌲 Meet Hua (shorturl.at/3DGFl), one of our PhD researcher! His research focuses on generating high-quality virtual point clouds that realistically include lower vegetation. This helps improve tasks like semantic segmentation and biomass estimation. Smarter, more reliable ecological AI starts here.

📣 Just a few days to go!
Join us this Saturday, June 28 at #LNDW2025 in the Theaterhof of the Silberlaube @FUBerlin.
As a special add on we’ll be showcasing a small art project by ZK/U fellows, created in collaboration with us: Visual Cultures of Forest Carbon - www.zku-berlin.org/fellows/754/ 🌳🌲

🌲 Curious about what trees do for us—and how we can measure it? Visit us at #LNDW2025 in the Theaterhof of the Silberlaube #FUBerlin on June 28th!
Together we use our new laser scanner to turn trees into 3D models to study their health, structure, & carbon storage. Don’t miss it! 🌳
