Bienvenue à SilviLaser 2025! ⚜️🌲

#IRSSlab members Brent Murray (@brntmrry.bsky.social) and Liam Irwin kicked off the conference today with a workshop on #lidR and #LAStools.

Lots of exciting talks and sessions ahead — make sure to stop by and say hi!

Occlusion in forest laser scanning is often seen as a problem, but it can also be an opportunity. Our new preprint tries to find the positives in the things we haven't seen. 🌲🌳🧪 eartharxiv.org/repository/view/10336/

Looking forward to the AICC workshop at EurIPS (Dec 6/7) in Copenhagen!

Preliminary results are in: Fixed-wing drones show strong potential for moose surveys.

Monitoring moose populations has been traditionally done by helicopter. Our partners at UBC are exploring if drones are a better alternative.

Waite et al. (2025) find that heat & drought affect Douglas‑fir red‑edge spectral indices differently by tree size—mature trees show steeper red‑edge declines mid‑drought than saplings. #UAV #Lidar #multispectral #openaccess

OP ED: "Of course we need to protect people, property and infrastructure from riverbank erosion. But current erosion management is hurting B.C. rivers."
