Dear All, I am glad to share our open-access paper published this weekend in #Nature's @CommsEarth, where we find that "Trees on smallholder farms and forest restoration are critical for Rwanda to achieve net zero emissions" nature.com/articles/s4324… @matin_brandt @ucph_esdc 1/5

PRESS RELEASE The IAF Global Space Conference on Climate Change (#GLOC2026) will take place in Kigali from 2–4 June 2026. Bringing together global leaders in space, science, and climate, the conference will drive collaboration and data-driven solutions for climate resilience. Read the full press release.

Urban tree cover in China's mega cities has increased considerably, see our new study in Nature Cities using RapidEye and PlanetScope: rdcu.be/eiIVH

Our team @LSCE_IPSL is hiring a data scientist for using near-real time street-level traffic data and machine-learning models to map CO2 and pollutants emissions from road transport and other sectors, together with the @Carbon_Monitor project ⤵️ lc.cx/Wc66lB

We are looking for a motivated PhD candidate @lsce @inrae @JWigneron with interest in deep learning and foundational models for mapping forest attributes in African dense forests using satellite data Please join your team ! Link and how to apply ⤵️ lc.cx/Rnp9wf

We have summarized our experiences using deep learning and high resolution images to map trees in this Nature Reviews article (free read under rdcu.be/d0h22): nature.com/articles/s4428… @ciais_philippe @christian_igel @UCPH_Research

🚨 Collapse of the land carbon sink in 2023 🚨 As the CO2 growth rate reached a record high at Mauna Loa, we set up a low-latency analysis of the carbon budget and found that plants and soils absorbed almost no CO2 last year @gcarbonproject @gpbalsamo arxiv.org/abs/2407.12447

🔥 🔥 🔥 We have a postdoctoral / young scientist position opening on theory and prediction of extreme fire impacts on the carbon cycle with S Bowring, Y Xu and @LSCE_IPSL colleagues ⤵️ bit.ly/4eE8KGm

Just discovered the most massive tree I've ever seen in the Amazon rainforest via satellite image—over 50 meters in crown diameter and more than 50 meters in height! 🛰🌳@CTrees_org @RicardoDalagnol

In this new paper led by @emvansant with @Bowydb, @madasascientist, F Reiner, C Hall, and J Kamoto, we show the positive effect of tree cover on people's micronutrient adequacy in Malawi, explained by people sourcing food from on-farm trees. nature.com/articles/s4301…

Mapping trees was yesterday: here we mapped the location of almost 3 million baobabs across the entire Sahel, published in Nature Ecology: doi.org/10.1038/s41559… (free read: rdcu.be/dOVbO) @KeHuang13 @NASA @rasmussen_vang @UCPH_Research @ERC_Research

My first PhD study has been published in @NewPhyt highlighting the need to account for within-canopy variation in Tleaf to understand and predict leaf physiological heat stress. We also show that Tleaf can be up to 20°C warmer than air. @Rwanda_TREE nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/np…

@manuhavuga @Uni_Rwanda @CGIS_UR @urcst Dear Honorable, and my dear Lecturer, it's a great honour to continue receiving your support, encouragement and mentorship. I keenly look forward to the PhD defence today.

One of my best students is defending his PhD today July 1, 2024 at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark! Congratulations Maurice Mugabowindekwe @Uni_Rwanda @CGIS_UR @urcst

@manuhavuga @Uni_Rwanda @CGIS_UR @urcst Thank you very much dear Honorable. I can't wait to arrive home soon and celebrate together! Your support and encouragement is greatly appreciated.

@Uni_Rwanda @CGIS_UR @urcst You really deserve our congratulations @mumaurice . We will celebrate this achievement when you will be back home!
