Remote Sensing @ WSL

Do practitioners correctly use your remote sensing based #forest #maps ? Help them to understand what they are meant for and what not! Make them part of it! We had a successful workshop with feedback and got new reference data to further improve our maps.

📢 Call for data! Seeking #RGBI imagery & annotations for #tree #species. 🌳🌲🌴Passionate about #forestry, #ecology, #biodiversity, or #DeepLearning? Help build a universal model for tree species #identification! ⌛️Deadline: 31.10.2024. ➡️ 3dforecotech.eu/activities/tre…

🌲🛰️🌳Do you know how to appropriately validate countrywide #forest disturbance maps? An extensive validation of generated maps is essential... Here we show how to do it: academic.oup.com/forestry/advan… #Sentinel2 @JanikDeutscher @WSL_RemoteSens @

You have airborne #lidar, now what to do? 🌲📏 Find guidance: @Joanne_C_White et al. A model development and application guide for generating an enhanced forest inventory using airborne laser scanning data and an area-based approach. #forestinventory 🔗publications.gc.ca/collections/co…

The abstract submission deadline for ForestSAT in Rotorua has been extended until 20 April. This is your opportunity to present original research in the oral or poster format. #ForestSAT #conference #abstracts #forestry #spatialanalysis Submit now: buff.ly/3PxgK17

#EGU24 kicked off in #Vienna - a homerun for our group, as always. This year, we're prominently featured in session BG9.2, focusing on RS for forest applications. Drop by and say hi Wednesday! 👋👇meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU24/session/…

Exploring new horizons: tree species mapping with #deeplearning & #RGB imagery 🌲🌳🌱🌴Future #tree & #biodiversity monitoring methods 🧐 I'll be giving a workshop with @JgcBall at #ForestryAI If you are interested, join us 👩🏾‍💻🧑🏽‍💻👩‍💻⬇️ Registration: forestryai.website/events

Working on an exciting new topic on nighttime light (NTL) with high potential for ecological applications, #SDGSAT

Assessing the structure of #forest 🌳🌲edges is key for understanding their ecological value and supporting a purposive management. See the latest paper @MoBruggisser how to do it with standard leaf-off airborne laser scanning data: doi.org/10.1016/j.ecol…

Wanna join our team? Open internship position for 6 months @WSL_RemoteSens dealing with an intriguing topic: Light emissions and remote sensing. apply.refline.ch/273855/1593/pu…

Have a look at the intensity maps. They can be found here: doi.org/10.16904/envid… @EnvidatService

We mapped grassland-use intensities across Switzerland based on satellite time series. The resulting maps explained biodiversity patterns in Swiss grasslands well. 🛰️ #Sentinel2 #Grassland #LandUse @DomiWbr @MarcelSchwieder @KochTiziana @WSL_research doi.org/10.1002/rse2.3…

We're looking for a scientist in the field of mass movements. Want to join us @SLFDavos for this exciting tenure track position? #RemoteSensing #permafrost #JobAlert #TenureTrack @WSL_research apply.refline.ch/273855/1550/pu…

Great forest workshop today @esrischweiz in Zurich. I was invited to present our latest #forest research from @WSL_RemoteSens . Interesting presentations, good mix of the audience and a rich apéro 👍 esri.ch/de-ch/events/a…
