A new semester kicks off this week at Berlin’s universities - back to campus vibes! 🎓✨ Our team is ready for a winter term of teaching GIS & remote sensing at Lankwitz. Wishing students & lecturers alike a semester full of learning, discovery & good energy! 🚀📚🌍 #FreieUniversität #BackToCampus

We are visiting our study site in the forest. Under tall pine trees our technichian shows a station with a solar pannel that is used to send data collected on the site to an online dashboard.

Together we are looking at small oak seedings in mossy undergrowth that grow beneath the big pine trees to form a new forest generation. Some small oaks are tagged with numbered blue plates. Their size is remeasured every year. In the background one can see a station with sensors that measure air temperature, humidity and light intensity.

We dig up a soil sample to see how much organic material is present on the forest floor. One can see a small pit and one of our senior researchers feeling how sandy the soil is.

We were delighted to host a research exchange with colleagues from @CzechGlobe 🇨🇿 in Berlin! 🌍

We discussed forestry-focused remote sensing, explored opportunities for future collaboration, and visited study sites like the #sensorfield in Brandenburg. 🌲📡

Thanks for the great visit!

Our fieldwork is in full go – our team is out in the woods every day batteling rain, swamps, sheep and running from cows – the dangers you find in northern Europe 😉 – all with the #Riegl on our shoulders.
But check out these stunning views we get in return! It’s all worth it.

We are getting ready to head to Norway! 🌲🌾🌲
Our team will collect terrestrial laser scanning data to on the connection between forest structure and biodiversity – we are looking forward to two weeks in the beautiful boreal forest north of Oslo.
And we are prepared for swampy conditions 😉

Blooming horse chestnut tree ‘Rosie’ on the GeoCampus Lankwitz, with pink blossoms, green grass, and a partly cloudy sky.

Close-up of a tree trunk equipped with environmental sensors for measuring growth, light, and soil moisture on the GeoCampus Lankwitz.

3D point cloud model of a tree from TLS scan, color-coded by height from pink at the base to yellow in the upper canopy, on a black background.

On our idyllic GeoCampus Lankwitz, smart sensors track tree growth, soil moisture & light of some of our many trees. TLS scans turn trees like "Rosie" 🌳 the chestnut into stunning 3D models 👓. #TTN #SmartForestry #IoT #TreeGrowth #LoRaWAN #ForestEcology #SensingFUB

Young oak seedlings growing in a row on a mossy forest floor under tall pine trees.

🌳 In Brandenburg, we’ve set up a TTN-connected station to monitor soil moisture & light intensity—exploring how these factors affect young oak seedlings growing under mature pines. Stay tuned for more news from our #sensorfield!

📣 Just a few days to go!
Join us this Saturday, June 28 at #LNDW2025 in the Theaterhof of the Silberlaube @FUBerlin.
As a special add on we’ll be showcasing a small art project by ZK/U fellows, created in collaboration with us: Visual Cultures of Forest Carbon - www.zku-berlin.org/fellows/754/ 🌳🌲

Vom 23. bis 29. Juni streicht die #FUBerlin das "E", um zu zeigen, was fehlt, wenn Substanz gestrichen wird. Allein für 2025 sollen die Kürzungen rund 37 Million n uro betragen.
D r B rlin r S nat g fährd t damit L hr, Forschung und
