We are hiring three PhDs within the joint project āForests in transition: The future of European beech under drought stressā. If you are interested in tree water relations in response to stem density reduction (subproject 2), see here: www.verw.tu-dresden.de/StellAus/ste....
Worldwide, larger trees suffer most following extreme drought, which likewise seems to apply to European beech in response to the exceptional 2018/19 drought, see here: doi.org/10.1016/j.fo.... Great work by @jsrieder.bsky.social as part of her DFG-funded PhD project BEECHDECLINE.
Submitted my PhD thesis today! ready for x-mas šš
Happy to see my second PhD paper published in Forest Ecology and Management š

At SilviLaser 2025 in QuĆ©bec City, PhD candidate Julia Rieder (EORC, University of WĆ¼rzburg and staff member of EO4CAM) presented her work on āEuropean Beech under Drought: Effects of Topography, Competition and Soil Water Availability.ā Her study uses LiDAR to reveal how local conditions shapeā¦
From 19ā21 September 2025, the Deutsche Waldtage took place all across Germany under the motto āGemeinsam! FĆ¼r den Waldā (āTogether! For the Forestā). Foresters, forest owners, and many other actors connected to the forest invited people to join activities and events in their local woodlands. Atā¦
Last week, EORC staff participated in and co-organized the Ecological Society of Germany, Austria and Switzerland (GfĆ) Annual Symposium 2025, this year hosted at University of WĆ¼rzburg. The symposium, attended by more than 600 people, covered a wide range of topics in ecology research with a focusā¦

Glad to share the time at #gfoe2025 with many of my nice colleagues of @earth-observation.org working at the interface of remote sensing and ecology, and who co-organized the conference.

In late July, PhD student Julia Rieder and EAGLE student Henning Riecken (InnoLab) conducted field visits to several beech forest stands in Northern Bavaria. Their survey covered regions including the Rhƶn, the Steigerwald, and areas around WĆ¼rzburg and Bayreuth, as part of the Beechdecline andā¦
Are you working with LiDAR or inventory data? Visit me at poster H07 at #LPS25 to find out more about our R package, TreeCompR, which provides solutions for quantifying tree competition!
Stop by our poster about the usage of the data fusion technology on analyzing key variables impacting agricultural biomass today at #LPS25 at T36
great group picture of our EORC staff and EAGLEs at ESA #LPS25 - a fantastic week with plenty of interesting discussions, talks and posters! #earthobs #eochat #remotesensing
Stop by our poster about drought monitoring in orchard meadows today at #LPS25 at B37
Having a blast at ESA's #LPS25 with @schwalb-willmann.de and a nice poster about animal paths š Swing by!
@schwalb-willmann.de who develops the #basemaps R package (github.com/16eagle/base...) may be a good addition to this list! #rstats
