@kimcalders.bsky.socialHow to better understand droughts, fires and logging impacts on forests? ERC grantee Kim Calders builds digital twin forests using 3D laser scanning and satellite data. This can help improve climate models and forecasts of forest carbon dynamics 👉 bit.ly/4dstaT2 @kimcalders.bsky.social

Show PostI'm in the Highlands' newspaper @northerntimes.co.uk, this time with an update on my latest cancer scans from a few weeks ago - still no evidence of disease, exactly 2 years since I finished being on immunotherapy. Yay! ht @ahenderson96.bsky.social #cansky www.northern-times.co.uk/news/ultra-r...
Show PostNew paper by Wout Cherlet & @qforestlab.bsky.social team led by @kimcalders.bsky.social, comparing tree extraction methods from TLS data. TL;DR it's hard to automate, ecosystem dependent & parametric approaches currently outperform DL www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Show PostThe most well-know use-case of optical fibres is internet. We show that it actually allows us to measure microclimate temperatures at the ultra-high resolution of 25 cm! Since these fibres can be very long, up to 30 km (!), this novel means of environmental monitoring seems super promising.
