We'll soon be looking for *2 postdocs & a PhD student* to work on massive realtime systems to monitor tree stress. Fieldwork, RS, & computation. Keep an eye on this space! With Michael Gowanlock, Chris Doughty, @C_rHvG, & Scott Goetz. Please RT! nausiccs NAU @NAUResearch

Ever wanted to deploy your trained TensorFlow models to make new predictions on #EarthEngine data as it arrives? We setup a pipeline with serverless and managed Google Cloud services to automate ML predictions on satellite data that is massively scalable github.com/GMoncrieff/ear…

Savanna termite mounds are resistant to variation in long-term burning regimes. This suggests managers can focus attention on other savanna species when considering fire management doi.org/10.1111/1365-2… Evan Hockridge Andrew Davies @TreesAndLasers

I've extended the application deadline for this exciting postdoc position to study large mammal impacts on ecological stoichiometry and plant diversity. New deadline 15 Jan and start date 1 Apr!😃 #ecologicalstoichiometry #rewilding #megafauna #herbivores au.dk/om/stillinger/…

🚨 Job announcement 🚨 Excited to be recruiting TWO #PhD students on deep-time #ancientDNA🧬 from terrestrial and marine #sedimentary systems. Deadline: 15th January 2023. Will be based at Centre for Palaeogenetics. Please spread the word! 😀 su.se/english/about-…

Really looking forward to this! A great resource to prepare for the upcoming @nasa_bioscape campaign

Happy Earth from BioSCape! 🤩

New paper out with Anabelle Cardoso and William Bond on how fire-sensitive forests survive in flammable savanna landscapes in Africa, and how to go about conserving these systems frontiersin.org/articles/10.33… #OpenAccess

Perspective piece on managing forest patches in flammable mosaicked ecosystems - enormous thanks to Heath Beckett and William Bond, and the two fantastic reviewers Swanni Alvarado and Csaba Tölgyesi! My TLDR summary: Fire is (usually) fine! frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

Wrapping up a great week at the @nasa_bioscape applications meeting. Bringing together the South African remote sensing and biodiversity management community with the world’s best in imaging spectroscopy. A new era in measuring biodiversity from space is on the horizon

As we wrap up our workshop, we wanted to highlight the speakers and panelists that contributed to this great week:

Thinking back to our applications workshop last week

Our first #SpeciesSpotlight is the African Penguin. Each week we will highlight a plant or animal species found in the Greater Cape Floristic Region

Pleased to share my 2nd PhD paper. In the 1st known application of Q method to illegal wildlife trade (IWT) issues, we show that #pangolins are primarily harvested for food (not scales) in SE Nigeria, underpinning the need to improve food security & livelihoods in the region. 1/n

Science is so much better for having you in it Mme Magabe - WELL DONE!!

We're holding a virtual kick-off meeting to share more and answer questions about our NASA Terrestrial Ecology effort to scope a possible decadal campaign in the tropics. Tune in on Nov 2! Registration link can be found here: tropicalforestscoping.com/virtual-kick-o… Please spread the word!

Carbon-capture "tree plantations" threaten tropical biodiversity for little gain, ecologists say. Read more from this Trends in Ecology & Evolution Science & Society article here: cell.com/trends/ecology… Jesus Aguirre, @nicola_stvns, Erika Berenguer
