📢New paper online! We show the potential of using hyperspectral field data in monitoring plant functional types in northern peatlands sciencedirect.com/science/ar… The dataset is openly available: data.mendeley.com/datasets/3…

Congrats to our early career Bronze Medal Winner at the 45th Canadian Symposium of Remote Sensing - Dr. Koreen Millard of Carleton University. #CSRS2024 – at Halifax, Nova Scotia
No better way to wrap up two amazing sessions of #peatland science @CRSS__SCT
A fun dinner with this great group of remote sensing peatland fans @CRSS__SCT with @GeoKoreen, @BeraProject and others, with a few who came and went

So excited to be running a #lidR workshop at @CRSS__SCT this year! If you're coming to Halifax, consider signing up for our workshop (although I know from experience the #GEE workshop run by @NPontone and Yasamin Amini will be excellent too!)
Heading to @CRSS__SCT's Canadian Symposium on #RemoteSensing in June? Check out the IRSS' workshop:

Excited that I'm going to be helping deliver this @CarletonDGES workshop on using SLEUTH to model urban expansion scenarios April 23-25. createsend.com/t/t-D78DE63AF…
Excited to announce this publication! Our peatland map for the Canadian boreal forest is now available as open data (zenodo.org/records/10627580). We hope this will facilitate further research in ecology, wildfire management, carbon accounting, and more!
This Post is from an account that no longer exists. Learn more
Make sure not to skip the supplementary material! This paper also describes the methodology behind new Canadian PALSAR-2 L-band summer composites (circa 2020). Thanks to our collaborators at the Canadian Forest Service @NRCan for making this possible

Mer Bleue is the perfect spot to explore in late fall, as captured by 📷passportunities!
The tamarack trees in #MerBleue turn a brilliant gold colour and don’t fall until late October & November. 🌲☀

DYK that the national equations used in Canada to estimate the aboveground biomass of individual trees are biased in the case of small black spruce from peatlands, by far the most common trees in Canada? In this new paper we fix that. See this thread 1/9 cdnsciencepub.com/doi/full/1…
