After years of organized action by the Karuk & Yurok tribes, the Klamath River dams are scheduled to be demolished—a major victory for indigenous communities & the freshwater ecosystem. Explore the Klamath: buff.ly/2Ktz38X & op-ed: buff.ly/2UHP8K2 #ForestFriday

Whisky Hill, the site of Salo Sciences latest field trip, is in the dramatic burn scar of the 2013 American Fire. The team spent two days in the surrounding area doing field validation on CFO data, filming for Businessweek and of course, drinking whisky (Old Forester) #forestfriday

Do you know where your #ChristmasTree came from? Here is a collection of tree farms on the west slope of Lassen Peak, all at different stages of growth when this tree height data was collected in 2020. #ForestFriday #HappyHolidays to all!

Hey everyone, we're way overdue for several California Forest Observatory updates (including Earth Engine integration). Until then, here's a map of canopy cover change, 2016-2020. Warm colors->loss, cool colors->gain . The big blob is the Carr fire. Check out the harvest and regrowth patterns

To my fellow forest nerds: First we built a forest monitoring system in the cloud. Now we're sharing our guide to working with Forest Observatory data using cloud-based geospatial software. Check it out!🌲🧡🌤️ salo.ai/blog/2021/02/c…

The Moonlight Fire area has had a lot of salvage, and there is not much canopy cover across these areas, so if we got some clear air, we could potentially make a lot of hay with air tankers in this area. Canopy cover data from California Forest Observatory forestobservatory.com #DixieFire

Great overview from @Planet of how the California Forest Observatory contributes to better wildfire resilience in CA. Salo takes it even further by simulating 100s of millions of fires to create the highest res & most up-to-date maps of fire hazard ever created. 📖 bit.ly/2ZRvMIg #Cop26
