I like big trees and I cannot lie. Great bit of work by @kimcalders.bsky.social @louiseterryn.bsky.social and colleagues using innovative climbing and scanning approach. Stunning illustration of tree structural and biodiversity complexity zslpublications.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Last week Linda & Johannes from @gfz.bsky.social visited to scan the forest around the @icos-ri.eu EC flux mast with a LIDAR drone. All went well, so they scanned the young stand at the @lufluxes.bsky.social EC mast too.

And here is a short video. The campaign is part of a larger project that includes above and below canopy scans at various @icos-ri.eu Ecosystem sites. The terrestrial laser scans were done by @geikedesloover.bsky.social earlier this year. Read more in our previous repost from ICOS.

A nice write-up came out of a chat with the ICOS team. About using laser scanning to monitor forests at ICOS sites in Sweden & Finland 🌲

Grateful for the opportunity & the good field vibes 🧡

props to @nextgencarbon.bsky.social , kobe & seppe ✌️

Geike De Sloover @geikedesloover.bsky.social uses terrestrial laser scanning at ICOS Ecosystem sites to measure forest biomass🌲🌳

Scanning forests rather than cutting and weighing trees opens the potential for long-term time series of forest biomass.

🌲The 8th ICOS Summer School concluded successfully in May this year!

Find out how the students combined a fortnight of lectures, practical exercises and presentations with rowing and relaxing in Finnish nature🚣‍♂️

And that’s a wrap on @esa.int #LPS25! 🌎

My first conference: great experience, great people, great conversations.

Presented my poster on Friday & left with so many new ideas and connections.

Big thanks to everyone who made it happen! 🌳

Our new perspective on the use (& misuse) of what we're calling virtual forests (rather than digital twins!), for forest change from space, led by @kimcalders.bsky.social w many great colleagues 🔭 🧪🔬 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Two inspiring sessions at #LPS25:
- Women Trailblazers
- EO for Everyone

👀 "We can be what we can see"
🧑‍🤝‍🧑Climate change = about people, not just data
🚺Proud moment: a line at the women’s toilets at a remote sensing conf!

These sessions are for everyone: allies matter. Show up, listen, support. ✊

Had a great first day at #LPS25! 🌍

Inspiring to see so many brilliant scientists at work, and especially incredible women leading the way during the opening session.

The first glimpse of the #EEBIOMASS results was an amazing surprise.

Excited for what’s to come the rest of the week!

Job Alert!

We are hiring a new PhD candidate to work with me and @louiseterryn.bsky.social on multitemporal terrestrial laser scanning for better understanding forest structural dynamics at @qforestlab.bsky.social .

🌍 Heading to ESA’s Living Planet Symposium next week in Vienna!
Super excited to share my work and connect with others working on Earth observation, forests, LiDAR, carbon, and beyond 🌲📡

Who else is going? Let’s meet up!

On day two of our annual #NextGenCarbon meeting in Paris, we took a deeper look at work packages, impact measurement, social media and task forces. It was nice to finish the day with a stroll along the Seine, enjoying some good food and nice conversations.

Day two of our first #NextGenCarbon Annual Meeting in Paris! Here are some impressions from yesterday: lots of first meetings, as well as reunions, recaps, overviews and intense discussions. Not to mention the good snacks and great weather☀️. Stay tuned for more!

🌲 Forests, lasers, ferries, fieldwork in Scandinavia at its finest.

Completed TLS scans at Hyltemossa & Hyytiälä (thanks Seppe & Kobe!). Now heading to Svartberget via a misty ferry ride. Highlights: golden pine canopies and vintage vibes.

Welcome to follow #NextGenCarbon on our Bluesky! We are excited to announce that our project website www.nextgencarbon-project.eu is officially live. Go and explore! We are a collaboration of Europe's leading climate scientists contributing to the EU's climate change strategies. #NGC #RemoteSensing

Check-out these awesome posters of Q-ForestLab phd students Tom Verhelst and Luna Soenens working with TLS in forests at the poster session @BES2024 tonight 🌳 @qforestlab.bsky.social

📢 paper alert! Ever wondered if you can scan the forest faster with your RIEGL scanner without it impacting the structural metrics you extract from the trees? Find out here in a study lead by Tom Verhelst @qforestlab.bsky.social: www.mdpi.com/2072-4292/16...
