One week left to submit you abstract to @eurogeosciences.bsky.social #EGU25! The session “Remote Sensing for forest applications” will highlight results from our COST Action 3DForEcoTech 🌳🌲🌴.

Looking forward to your submission! Find details here: meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU25/sessio...

Call for Applications for ITC Conference Grants! Wanna join EGU25 in Vienna next year and talk about your research on Remote Sensing for Forest Applications? 🌳🌲🌴🛰️ Check out 3dforecotech.eu/news/itc-con...

📢 Data Call Alert!
We’re building an international database for tree species classification! Share aerial RGB/RGBI imagery & manual tree species annotations by 30 Nov 2024. Contributors will join as co-authors! Here: https://bit.ly/3As0v17 #RemoteSensing #OpenData

More than 20k individual 3D trees are now gathered in one place to benchmark deep-learning models to classify tree species.

Amazing initiative led by @stefanopuliti!
The data and codes are open, and a preprint is ready! 👏

@3DForEcoTech data calls: https://t.co/Tf5m1eZ7Ub https://t.co/qSBI3bhMlC

We are undergoing a second data call!

Here, we are focusing on tree species and the annotated RGB imagery.

CRS Allometries We are approaching you based on the next step we are taking in one of the practical cases of WG1 3DForEcoTech COST Action, the one related to allometries and close range remote sensing (CRS). We are preparing a paper related to the usage of destructive data to develop allometric models for explaining volume or biomass of various species using CRS-and/or traditional measurements. We will work at tree level. Based on it, we would like to ask you if you have data from destructive measurements (traditional approach) and any CRS scan of the same tree. This kind of data is quite scarse and involves a lot of work. Therefore, the value of this data, combined from different locations/countries is even greater and we would really appreciate if you could help us in the compilation of information to improve the knowledge of this topic. If you can provide this kind of data (together with a review of the manuscript), we would like to offer you co-authorship in the publication for your datasets (one person per dataset). Together with the data, we need some extra information to analyse, classify and homogenise the information in further steps. In case you have any doubt, please do not hesitate to contact us: meinrad.abegg@wsl.ch, menendez.maria@inia.csic.es

We are approaching you 📣 in relation to allometries and close range remote sensing (CRS). We are looking for destructive data and CRS data for the same #trees 🌳🌲 of any #species. Do you have such data and want to collaborate with us? Just, fill this up: https://t.co/eXqRO4RR8I

How can LiDAR data fusion improve forest attribute estimates? And what is the trade-off between benefits versus the time and effort?
Our first review paper explores these crucial questions.

Interdisciplinary Summer School on forest ecosystems 2023 - Supported by COST

Already want to get some impressions? Check out the short documentary of last years edition:
https://youtu.be/ltNN7quSp_g?si=JG6OLXsPjfO8jAwD

Virtual Mobilities | WG2

Are you interested in data fusion and diving into how to transfer knowledge about our work? We are looking for three STSMs to join WG2 and 6 in the upcoming months! Check out https://3dforecotech.eu/news/2-stsms-positions-wg2/ and https://3dforecotech.eu/news/stsm-position/ for details!

Short-term Scientific Mission call is out! 👇👇👇 twitter.com/emilyrlines/status/17533...

Thanks for sharing! 🌱💚🌿 twitter.com/COSTprogramme/status/175...

Last day of the survey is tomorrow! In case you did not fill it out - be quick to still be included in the upcoming publication!

Watch the full documentary about our interdisciplinary summer school! It was produced with @climateimpacts_ and @Cost_BottomsUp - and we’re so excited to share the result with you! 🤩 Interdisciplinary Summer School on forest ecosystems 2023: https://t.co/OgvQp7L1rS via @YouTube

Have you enjoyed our content on this summer school? 🌳 Watch this trailer of the documentary addressing interdisciplinary work and communication of your research! Make sure to save the post to get notified when we post the link to the full documentary in the upcoming days! 🥳

The essence of research: Staying curious while failing. We learn the most during the process of failure! So be patient with yourself and jump into the trial-error process to learn faster! Let’s share our experience - how do you find your way out of frustrating moments in science?

We asked our experts and: communication is key! If you don’t adapt your language to your audience when presenting your research, you can’t count on being understood. On the other side the audience has to be curious! And how to achieve that? Have fun! #science #ecology #PhD

When diving into working with other disciplines, we have to adapt our mindset! It requires patience, time and energy not to be discouraged by not understanding at first! But don’t worry, if you stick to it, you’ll soon be able to make new connections and improve your research!

It’s time!! ✨ you learned about our team so we made some videos to finally share more in depth information about the Interdisciplinary Summer School on forest ecosystems 2023! 🤩🌳 watch @m_mokros explain to you what our students exactly did during their time in Ljubljana!

Our expert on interdisciplinary work - Markus Eichhorn! An infinite pool of motivating messages for students! One of them: Do the crazy call! He encourages students to go out of the box, break the boundaries disciplines place on us and approach people with ideas to collaborate!

We interviewed students about their interdisciplinary experience: “If you don’t understand something, it’s good to take a step back & take it as a challenge”says Lucas Chojnacki (University of Wageningen). This, and seeing what results he’s aiming at while programming helps!

Sabina transitioned from grasslands to unmanaged forests for her PhD. Adapting to new methods, she sought reliable help for data collection in remote areas. Contacts from various fields helped in her research which she now shares with by chairing a Cost Action!🌳#Bottomsup

Empowering Sustainable Forests!🌳 Our partner, the BottomsUp network gathers biodiversity data to enhance eco-friendly forest management. Innovative indicators and local research efforts lead the way to a healthier ecosystem.💚 #BottomsUp #SustainableForestry #BiodiversityMatters

Process-based Modelling - why it makes sense! With using models we can understand complex systems and for example estimate future development of European forests! 🌳 All models need data, which we can get from observations! #PROCLIAS #EcosystemModeling #ClimateChange

When Peter started to get into modeling it was a big challenge, but closely listening to people and staying open minded helped him a lot when getting into this new discipline - and now he wants to use these skills for his research!
