📢 We're recruiting! 🌲 We are looking for a postdoctoral researcher with a strong scientific drive to contribute to the international research front on forest resilience in a changing climate. Application deadline 12 September: www.slu.se/en/about-slu...

Modern tools help us collect data from the forest. In terrestrial laser scanning, navigating the scanned areas of the plot can be checked afterwards on a map and a 3D-scene to ensure that the planned trees are visible in the image. But the GPS track can get lost and we need to correct the position.

Today, on the International Day for Biological Diversity, we highlight the role of remote sensing in monitoring biodiversity. @rubenvalpue.bsky.social is a member of GEO BON network dedicated to improving the acquisition, coordination, and delivery of biodiversity information geobon.org

On Friday, the Swedish Minister for Climate and the Environment Romina Pourmokhtari visited our remote sensing lab, where she met with Professor Ruben Valbuena and Research Engineers Mikael Egberth and Juha Niemi who explained the minister about the remote sensing methods our division develops.

Our EFINET report led by Gherardo Chirici, Gert-Jan Nabuurs and myself was just launched by European Forest Institute. Bringing solutions for unified forest monitoring.

What are the personal stories we connect to forests? 🌲💭 Elaine Parlade, PhD candidate at our partner BOKU Vienna wrote an article for #ForwardsEU reflecting on the answers shared by the consortium during the last General Assembly in February. Read it at 🔗 forwards-project.eu/if-trees-cou...
