Happy to share that the third paper from my PhD is now published! We estimated remote sensing-derived forest structural and functional integrity on Vancouver Island and examined the influence of anthropogenic pressure on these metrics. Open access here: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

This week, PhD candidate Evan (@muise.bsky.social) attended a workshop on #PrimaryForest Mapping! There was lots of great discussion surrounding primary forest definitions and methods for mapping them across BC and Canada 🌳 Thanks @wwfcanada.bsky.social for hosting an excellent workshop! 🙌
