New paper in Current Biology: liana cutting accelerated canopy recovery in logged tropical forest three times faster than tree planting, at one tenth of the cost. From 24 years of the Sabah Biodiversity Experiment, Sabah, Borneo. belian.earth/news/liana-c...

This seems not tooo shabby.

We are supporting the ML4EO conference 2026 @exeter.ac.uk We wrote about the conference what Machine Learning for earth observation gets wrong and why it matters for carbon baselines. Why Pixels Aren't Enough for Carbon Market Integrity. belian.earth/news/ml4eo-2...

Everyone's arguing about precision of biomass maps. Nobody wants to talk about baseline uncertainty. The spread between a good baseline and a bad one dwarfs any two biomass products. We wrote about why we need a shift toward rigorous counterfactuals belian.earth/news/carbon-...

If you use #positron #rstats and #duckdb I'd love to know what you think of this: `duckdb-r-editor` a Positron extension for duckdb SQL code highlighting and completion within R files. github.com/belian-earth...

Automated #SQL formatting within #rstats files has just been added to the `duckdb-r-editor` #positron extension. github.com/belian-earth... ✌️

Climate Hub Davos. "How you interpret data is crucial to interpreting risk." Everyone's building data products. Few are building the interpretation layer - Geospatial foundation models + causal inference + counterfactual baselines, not just maps. Blog: belian.earth/news/davos-w...

We've been awarded @esa.int funding for "Conservation Integrity: Geo-AI powered transparency 4 Nature-Based Solutions" 🛰️🌳 Its a difficult question in #forestconservation: what would have happened without intervention? belian.earth/news/esa-funding #Carbon #RemoteSensing #GeoAI @science.esa.int

#Restoration is seen as the safer bet for #carbon finance. But it faces the same baseline challenge as avoided deforestation. Both require a defensible #counterfactual. We revisit a @science.org paper five years on. belian.earth/news/counter... www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... #forests
