📢 Announcing keynotes for @Silvilaser23 We are honoured to welcome Yadvinder Malhi, Andy Waddington Hexagon Geosystems and Kate E. Jones 🦇 These promise to be great sessions that are "not just LiDAR and not just forests" but aim broaden to discourse on what can be achieved with #LiDAR!

The @Silvilaser23 workshop series is now full! Looking forward to welcoming 70+ people for a day of GEDI ☁ 𝗖𝗹𝗼𝘂𝗱𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲 #lidR and LAStools

Really fascinating to visit @wakehurst_kew and the Millennium Seed Bank @Kew_MSBUK yesterday to discuss their research agenda from seeds to ecosystems to Leverhulme Centre for Nature Recovery , thanks @Ed_Ikin and colleagues!

Trying to find trees in LiDAR data? Problem: 100s of algorithms but hard to assess their accuracy Solution: use segmented TLS to label trees in ALS, then compare algorithms. Paper: doi.org/10.1016/j.jag.… James Ball Phil Wilkes Kim Calders Mathias Disney @Silvilaser23

Are you attending British Ecological Society's conference this year? Interested in how #lidar can help answer your #ecology questions? Want some guidance on starting out with #3D tree data? 👉Then 'Intro to lidar for forest ecology' is the #BES2023 workshop for you! GIF credit Phil Wilkes

🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳 For those that need to segment trees from terrestrial LiDAR data, we present #tls2trees! Tested on 6 ha of Wytham Woods, we extracted 7615 trees using Centre for Environmental Data Analysis HPC! Try for yourself github.com/tls-tools-ucl/… 🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳

It has been a great year of scanning for team 🌳 TLS TREES 🌳 🌳 back in May we embarked on the @WoodlandTrust funded #SCATTER project. One of our faves was Wyesham Oak, Monmouth, here reimagined for 🎄🎅 Sketchfab: skfb.ly/oOHrP

We’ve been working in the #wetwoodland at @wakehurst_kew today installing dipwells for hydrological monitoring as part of the Wet Woodlands Research Network research network and supporting Steph Batten (she/her)’s PhD. I’m excited to see what the data show!

353 million points, 598 branches, 455 trees, 12 plots, 3 countries! All terrestrial LiDAR data and QSM models are now available open-access doi.org/10.5281/zenodo… Explore in 3D Sketchfab: skfb.ly/oTtTO

Branches were first stripped of their 🌿 then scanned in high-resolution. Full details of methods can be found in doi.org/10.1111/2041-2… Methods in Ecology and Evolution

Quote of the day from @wakehurst_kew ecosystem observatory launch: Trees are such good pollen and nectar sources that we should think of them as ‘sky meadows’! Highlight of the day was the wet woodland plot - see 📸 Thanks Phil Wilkes for inviting @WoodlandTrust

Come join us @wakehurst_kew! #NatureUnlocked is recruiting for a Programme Officer to help us manage all the exciting projects we have going on, from carbon 🌳 to bees 🐝 to nature-connectedness 😀 to hydrology 💦 More info: careers.kew.org/vacancy/nature…
