In Vienna this week for the @esa.int Living Planet Symposium! I'll be presenting my GROUNDED EO project in the "A.01.11 Living Planet Fellowship Programme Coordination" session on Friday morning (Room 0.14). If you can't make that, I'll also have a poster up on Friday afternoon (Zone S-T).

A further paper out this week! This time in @methodsinecoevol.bsky.social - we detail a new leaf-wood classification method for terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) data, making use of co-registered near-infrared photography: besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

New @esa.int GROUNDED EO results out in RSE! See the paper for a new data-driven Sentinel-2 LAI & FAPAR algorithm that reduces bias w.r.t. state-of-the-art. Based on a huge in situ database with uncertainties (>16,000 samples from 81 NEON, ICOS & TERN sites). www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Very happy to have taken delivery of our new RIEGL VZ-600i terrestrial laser scanner earlier this week. A huge upgrade over our ageing LMS-Z390. Now looking forward to getting out for some data collection...
