Want to do a PhD in remote sensing? Interested in mountain forest ecosystems? Then apply for a PhD position in our lab! You will be part of the newly founded Centre for Forest Management in the Alps, working on scaling tree productivity from tree to landscape scale. Deadline 21st September.

Happy to be part of the team led by Martin Schwartz (@lsce-ipsl.bsky.social) behind our new publication: “Retrieving yearly forest growth from satellite data: A deep learning based approach.” 📖 Published in Remote Sensing of Environment: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... 1/4

🌳 One of my dearest projects—with brilliant friends and colleagues—is out in @NatureComms We show that how you plant tree species (not just which) can significantly boost forest functioning. 🔗 rdcu.be/evtXs 👇 A short thread

Interested in working with a fun and inspiring team? We are looking for a new PhD (mountain forest management) and PostDoc (forest adaptive capacity, w/ @juditlecinadiaz.bsky.social) Comes along with: 🧗🏻‍♀️ mountain/ sport buddies 🙃 good + bad jokes ☕️👬amazing social time 💭 great ideas and conversations

Keep sciencing. We are living through a time when looking at a rock and wondering how old it is qualifies as an act of resistance.

#Archives2025 👉En France, la baisse des émissions de gaz à effet de serre prévue en 2025 n’est que de 0,8 % selon le baromètre du Citepa. Un chiffre jugé alarmant par le climatologue Jean Jouzel, qui dénonce un « relâchement » général. ➡️ https://go.publicsenat.fr/Gy7#Archives2025

10 years ago, we had this idea of using tree cores of the French NFI @ignfrance.bsky.social to massively measure wood density in a medical scanner @inrae-france.bsky.social.

10 years of ago, LIF @ignfrance.bsky.social had this idea that investing the monitoring of CC impacts on forests was a major priority. Accordingly - and unfortunately - French forests are now showing a widespread growth decline, as evidenced by Lionel Hertzog www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
