CABO Science

Looking for a postdoc (2 yr position) to study tree-level leaf phenology using multi-temporal drone imagery. Details: docs.google.com/document/d/1gM… Deadline: January 13, 2023. Excellent spatial data science skills required. Please share!

CABO member @ShanKothari shows how reflectance spectroscopy can provide accurate and non-destructive estimates of many ecologically important foliar traits from pressed leaf samples, such as those stored in herbaria. besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/20…

Last week at the @ESA_org @CSEE_SCEEmtgs meeting I talked about how robots can transform plant ecology. Thanks to @NewPhyt for the invitation. Here is the talk: youtu.be/wiCPFW4GYfA

@traitlab getting ready for a big leaf sampling and spectroscopy campaign at ⁦@SblUdem⁩ in July.

@CABO_science acquired imaging spectroscopy data over @SblUdem and we are collecting foliage using @DeLeavesDrone over the next 2 weeks to map canopy chemistry and tree species.

CABO members Anna Schweiger and @etnlalib publish this study today using @NEON_sci data from the US showing how imaging spectroscopy can be used to monitor plant biodiversity. CABO is currently developing other similar approaches using data we collected across Canada.

New post-doc opening on Phylogenetic structure of leaf spectra, supervised by Dr. Anne Bruneau and Dr. Étienne Laliberté at the Université de Montréal Biodiversity Centre. For more info: bit.ly/3eDKfKF

With #COVID19, @IRBV_Montreal now hosts seminars online. This Friday March 20 11:00 (EDT), Dr Jose Eduardo Meireles from @UMaine will present: Seeing leaf spectra in light of evolution. Zoom link: umontreal.zoom.us/j/966609185

Deep learning leads us to develop new workflows for field data acquisition. This summer we’ll create tree species maps using hand-drawn polygons on tablets as training data.

Two PhD positions on remote sensing of foliar traits using spectroscopy in @PhilTownsnd’s lab.

MSc student Rosalie Beauchamp-Rioux from @traitlab @CABO_science is at #AGU19 to show how foliar spectra distinguish tree species throughout the growing season, even across sites that differ strongly in their soil properties.

Just out in @Ecology_Letters: ecologists can now use imaging spectroscopy data from projects like @NEON_sci to measure plant spectral gamma, beta and alpha diversity across landscapes. This is many applications for conservation. doi.org/10.1111/ele.13… @CABO_science @traitlab

Do not miss seminar by @CavenderG9 about remote sensing of plant biodiversity at @mcgillu Faculty Club on Nov. 12 17:00!
