An Evaluation of Low‐Cost Terrestrial Lidar Sensors for Assessing Hydrogeomorphic Change Fixed monitoring platforms using small form lidar sensors offer insight into hydrogeomorphic processes at user defined temporal resolution Change detection products are within 2–4 cm of those pro...

Nice contribution! - we used the livox for change detection in another environmental setting and found them to be similarly useful agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Carlos Cabo on the left holds a Hovermap (very good, very expensive) while Martin Mokros on the right holds their new prototype (pretty good, incredibly cheap).

Terrestrial laser scanning is too expensive? Not any more. @mokros.bsky.social and team have built one for €2k and all the specifications are all open-source papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.... @3dforecotech.bsky.social

🌲 What if a terrestrial laser scanner cost ~€2k, and still delivered reliable forest data?

We built one. And it works.
→ DBH accuracy ~1.5 cm
→ Tree height ~1 m
→ Open hardware + open software

Seminar is part of the International Tree Mortality Network. There's a picture of Paloma, her university logo (Universidat de Alcala) and the time, which is 3 Dec 24 at 1600 CET. I'll be watching and if this is your kind of thing then I recommend you make space in the diary for it too, she's brilliant.

Just spotted this seminar tomorrow (3 Dec) by the awesome Paloma Ruiz Benito on "Forest dynamics under global change: temporal perspectives with observational approaches". Register here zoom.us/webinar/regi...

It’s December 1st, and we’re giving kids advent calendars, plus a board game each Sunday until Christmas. My 10-year-old daughter wrote me a letter as Santa. We moved to the UK last year—it’s been tough, and I struggle at times. I’ll use her letter as my mantra in hard times.
Not crying, you are!

I created this stater pack with women in ecology and evolution.

A rubber tree plantation on the island of Hainan in China has been trashed following a cyclone. Trees are bent and several have been snapped.

Hurricanes cause tremendous damage to forests, whether natural or plantations, but we know very little about what actually happens to trees during high winds (for obvious reasons). In our latest work we have the answer... 🧵👇🧪🌏 1/12

Next week, I am going to scan vineyard agroforestry. You know where I am going with this. I want to know which poultry to which tree species and which wine to match it to the create the symphony.

This is the most niche starter pack I've been added to. If you want to know more then see 3dforecotech.eu
