The Harmful Algal Blooms monitoring project has had a successful second field season. Though we faced more challenges when it came to collecting our samples (more cloudy and smokey days), we still managed to nearly meet our goals.

📢NEW PAPER! Mapping Dominant Boreal #TreeSpecies Groups by Combining Area-Based and Individual Tree Crown #LiDAR Metrics with Sentinel-2 Data

ALT Map of wall-to-wall predictions of species groups overlaid with forest stands labeled by their inventory (photo-interpreted) species groups. Predictions were only made in pixels where zp90 > 5 m, pzabove2 > 50%, and in productive forest stands. JP: jack pine dominated; BS: black spruce dominated; MC: mixed conifers; MW: mixedwood; HW: hardwood.

Members of our lab have sadly lost loved ones to suicide, we encourage you to reach out today to loved ones or peers who are struggling and let them know you are there to talk. Unsure how to help? Looking for support? ucalgary.ca/mentalhealth/let…

5 Benefits of a Forest: 1. Rainwater & stormwater get filtered through the trees' roots in a #forest. The more #trees a landowner has, the more #water is filtered, providing clean water to the public. 🌱🪴🌲

Brand new paper! We used #Landsat and #EarthEngine to characterize post-harvest #forest recovery across Alberta, Canada. Our results reveal broad regional patterns, and high local variability. 🛰🌲🇨🇦@JNHird @GregMcDermid @ABbiodiversity

The ABMI is enhancing our knowledge of Human Footprint with Spectral Regeneration of Harvested Areas!
The final data set contains spectral regeneration info for ~58 000 Harvest Area polygons, and comprises 34 years of sat data.

Today is #IndigenousPeoplesDay in #Canada. Education and continued learning about the truths of our indigenous history are key to understanding and moving toward #Reconciliation
It's #IndigenousPeoplesDay!
It's time for people to learn about our history.

Usually baby bird season is full of stress and sadness for me. But this past year, people have been sending me stories of helping birds (or leaving them be) because they read this chart I made, and if this is the only impact I ever have on the Earth, I'll be happy forever.
