We have been using terrestrial laser scanning to acquire baseline structural data of trees within these dynamic forests. We will be back in the future to see how these forests have changed structurally over time. [3/4]

We are collecting terrestrial laser scanning data, spectral measurements of leaves, bark and understory and multispectral drone data. Not too much is known about these forests and these field measurements will result into a better understanding of these ecosystems. [3/4]

We are setting up 6 new permanent plots in the El Furioso sector of the National Park, supported by CONAF. These sites had different impacts of caterpillar disturbance over the last decade. [2/4]

We are currently in Patagonia for our @ercresearch.bsky.social project #SPACETWIN, looking at the impact of caterpillar (Ormiscodes amphimone) disturbance on the Nothofagus forests. This is a @qforestlab.bsky.social collaboration with the team of Roberto O. Chávez from PUCV in Valparaíso [1/4]

It was great having Maurice Leponce give a guest lecture in our BSc course on Ecology, covering Tropical forest biodiversity: large-scale inventories, canopy access, and the role of natural history museums.
Great inspiration for our students!

What a great two weeks in Tasmania with @TerraLuma and @l_hambrecht mapping giant and old trees for @ERC_Research SPACETWIN. We managed to scan 10 giants (with some well over >80m in height).

The first leg of my Australian fieldwork trip was a success with a range of benchmark scans covering various forest structures with our RIEGL TLS and the autonomous LEAF scanners from ESS Darius Culvenor. Glad to have some hands-on training for LEAF installment from Darius!

The wind conditions have not often been on our side this summer, but the coming days look very promising. @barryshilin and I will continue scanning our #bosland plots for #SPACETWIN and #projectWEAVE with @corneliussenf. Also check out the new graphics from @StudioKnets 👇

For an MSc project we are looking for any TLS data of #Oak trees to complement our own dataset. Reach out if you have some data that you are willing to share with us! (Any high-quality point cloud data is very welcome!)
