Do not miss seminar by Dr. Jeannine Cavender-Bares about remote sensing of plant biodiversity at McGill University Faculty Club on Nov. 12 17:00!

Just out in Ecology Letters: ecologists can now use imaging spectroscopy data from projects like NEON to measure plant spectral gamma, beta and alpha diversity across landscapes. This is many applications for conservation. doi.org/10.1111/ele.13… CABO Science Plant Functional Ecology Lab

MSc student Rosalie Beauchamp-Rioux from Plant Functional Ecology Lab CABO Science is at #AGU19 to show how foliar spectra distinguish tree species throughout the growing season, even across sites that differ strongly in their soil properties.

Two PhD positions on remote sensing of foliar traits using spectroscopy in Phil Townsend’s lab.

CABO UAV pilot Oliver Lucanus has made a beautiful video of our BC site: Cowichan Garry Oak Preserve. Shot during the May 2019 field campaign. youtu.be/G1HOQJDgD-8

Deep learning leads us to develop new workflows for field data acquisition. This summer we’ll create tree species maps using hand-drawn polygons on tablets as training data.

With #COVID19, IRBV now hosts seminars online. This Friday March 20 11:00 (EDT), Dr Jose Eduardo Meireles from University of Maine will present: Seeing leaf spectra in light of evolution. Zoom link: umontreal.zoom.us/j/966609185

New post-doc opening on Phylogenetic structure of leaf spectra, supervised by Dr. Anne Bruneau and Dr. Étienne Laliberté at the Université de Montréal Biodiversity Centre. For more info: bit.ly/3eDKfKF

Offre de MSc dans notre groupe! Cartographier la diversité végétale de sites mellifères à l’aide de drones et IA. docs.google.com/document/d/10q…

Nous sommes à la recherche d'un.e développeuse / développeur web pour une plateforme d'annotations et d'apprentissage actif (IA) afin de cartographier la biodiversité végétale à l'aide d'imagerie de drone tinyurl.com/mryesa6j

CABO members Anna Schweiger and Etienne Laliberté publish this study today using NEON data from the US showing how imaging spectroscopy can be used to monitor plant biodiversity. CABO is currently developing other similar approaches using data we collected across Canada.

Plant Functional Ecology Lab getting ready for a big leaf sampling and spectroscopy campaign at ⁦SBL UdeM⁩ in July.

CABO Science acquired imaging spectroscopy data over SBL UdeM and we are collecting foliage using @DeLeavesDrone over the next 2 weeks to map canopy chemistry and tree species.

Last week at the Ecological Society CSEE SCEE Meetings meeting I talked about how robots can transform plant ecology. Thanks to New Phytologist for the invitation. Here is the talk: youtu.be/wiCPFW4GYfA

CABO member Shan Kothari shows how reflectance spectroscopy can provide accurate and non-destructive estimates of many ecologically important foliar traits from pressed leaf samples, such as those stored in herbaria. besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/20…

Looking for a postdoc (2 yr position) to study tree-level leaf phenology using multi-temporal drone imagery. Details: docs.google.com/document/d/1gM… Deadline: January 13, 2023. Excellent spatial data science skills required. Please share!
