Integrating terrestrial and canopy laser scanning for comprehensive analysis of large old trees: Implications for single tree and biodiversity research Canopy laser scanning (CLS) enhances 3D measurements of large trees by lifting laser scanners into the canopy. Combining CLS with terrestrial laser scanning improves point cloud precision, reduces oc...

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 ✌️

Really appreciate this write-up. Thanks for sharing our story! 🌲

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! 🌳

Realistic virtual forests for understanding forest disturbances and recovery from space Forests worldwide are undergoing large-scale and unprecedented changes in terms of structure and composition due to land use change and natural distur…

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. ✊

Great that you posted about this, almost missed out on this session! 😅

First BIOMASS results

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 .

Apply here ➡️ bit.ly/3I5AnMP
Application deadline: Aug 3

I also joined the forest science community last year when starting my PhD. It’s been such an amazing and educational experience meeting people so far. Would love to catch up at ESA LPS!

🌍 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.

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

Implications of Pulse Frequency in Terrestrial Laser Scanning on Forest Point Cloud Quality and Individual Tree Structural Metrics Terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) provides highly detailed 3D information of forest environments but is limited to small spatial scales, as data collection is time consuming compared to other remote se...

📢 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...
