New paper in Forestry: National remote sensing-derived aboveground biomass yield curves for Canada doi.org/10.1093/forestry/cpaf067 With @txominhermos.bsky.social , S. Baral, @mikewulder.bsky.social , and J. White - using four decades of satellite data to model forest growth across Canada.

Just wrapped up an inspiring week at SilviLaser 2025. It was a real pleasure to attend, and an honor to deliver the keynote. Conferences like Silvilaser remind me why I love working in forestry and remote sensing - not just for the science, but also for the people.

Only a pre-print for now, but after 4 years of hard work I couldn't resist sharing this! The Global Canopy Atlas: analysis-ready maps of 3D structure for the world's woody ecosystems 📜: doi.org/10.1101/2025... Huge team effort led by the brilliant Fabian Fischer!

#Silvilaser2025 is coming up in 3 weeks! We're getting excited so we wanted to remind you of our ✨3 keynote speakers✨ To read more about them visit 👉 www.silvilaser2025.com/speakers Which talk are you most looking forward to?! #remotesensing #laserscanning #forestmanagement #foresters

🌟Meet #Silvilaser2025 Keynote Speakers!🌟 1/3: Dr Piotr Tompalski (@piotrtompalski.bsky.social) is a Research Scientist with the Canadian Forest Service using #LiDAR, #photogrammetry & #SatelliteData to enhance carbon monitoring & forest growth modeling 🌲📡 📆 Early bird registration opens May 1st!

🌲 Excited to share our latest work on Enhanced Forest Inventories (EFI) in Canada! 🌲 We take a close look at how EFI is being implemented across Canada's provinces & territories. We also summarize the extent of ALS acquired across Canada, with maps and tables (and an animation ⬆️).

Yesterday we celebrated the IRSS Twin Day! 👯‍♀️👯‍♂️ *10 YEARS* of capturing every time IRSS lab members dressed the same! (it happens more often than you'd think 😜) Huge thanks to @piotrtompalski.bsky.social for starting - and maintaining - this epic photo album throughout the years 🫶

Hey there @bsky.app! Please join us for #SilviLaser2025 for a great conference on cutting-edge technology in laser scanning and forestry 🛰️🌲 🚩 Quebec City 📅 Sept 29 - Oct 3, 2025 📃 Abstracts due Feb 28. 2025 Learn more at silvilaser2025.com! 🌍 Please like and share this with your networks! 🙏

Great review paper on forest carbon + lidar!

New paper! 📣 Advances in #LaserScanning to Assess Carbon in #Forests: From Ground-Based to Space-Based Sensors 👉 see thread for more! #OpenAccess🔓: doi.org/10.1007/s407... ✍️ Coops, Irwin, Seely & Hardy 🙏 #NSERC @forestry.ubc.ca #RemoteSensing #ForestCarbon #Lidar #Drones #Salitte #Aircraft

If you're using the `lidR` package and looking to expand your point cloud analysis capabilities, the **lidRmetrics** package might be worth exploring. It offers a variety of additional metrics designed to provide a more detailed characterization of forest structure ptompalski.github.io/lidRmetrics/

NEW PAPER 📢 Detection of disturbances using Harmonized #Landsat #Sentinel2 time series #OpenAccess🔓: doi.org/10.1016/j.is... ✍️ Brown, Coops, Mulverhill, Achim 💰 NSERC, #Silva21 #UBCForestry #remotesensing #forestdisturbances

the {anytime} R package is my new favorite when it comes to converting text to dates. Super easy to use and works even if dates have some weird formatting! eddelbuettel.github.io/anytime/ #R #Rstats

NEW PAPER📢 Seasonal vegetation dynamics for phenotype using multispectral #drone imagery: differentiation, #ClimateAdaptation & hybridization of #InteriorSpruce 🔓#OpenAccess: doi.org/10.1016/j.rs... ✍️Grubinger, Coops, O'Neill, Degner, Wang, Waite, Riofrio, Koch 🙏 NSERC #UBCforestry #remotesensing

In my work, I often develop many models and need to assess their accuracy. To make my life easier, I built scatter, a small R package for—well, scatterplots! The plots: - Include R², bias, RMSE - Integrate with tidyverse pipe - Use facets for grouped data github.com/ptompalski/s... #Rstats

hellooooo!!!! re-joining the social media game! Here to share my research and probably overthink every post along the way
