Our last day of fieldwork for the #EnMAP project was eventful with lightning, hail, wind and a downpour. Luckily all viewed from Björkliden's restaurant terrace. Unfortunately the clouds moved in just in time for the satellite overpass.

Another beautiful day of groundtruthing for our #EnMAP.#SNSA project ... without sweating from start to finish under a hot sun.

Fieldwork for Emil's hyperspectral PhD work was in Kärkevägge today. Not a bad work environment...

Emil and I are on our way north for 2 weeks of field work... with a little bit of equipment...

Another exciting day in the ReindeerFlux project!🦌 Frida and @colebrachmann.bsky.social measured CO₂ & CH₄, while Alex and Johan flew drones with radar, multispectral & NDVI sensors. Thanks @svtnyheter.bsky.social’s Susan & Henrik for visiting—loved sharing our work in beautiful Grövelsjön! 🌿

This describes our vacation so far...

#LPS25 power breakfast

Yesterday, besides the opening session of #LPS25, I found Sofia Walther et al's talk on estimating Arctic Boreal NEE interesting, with importance of local training and addition of meteo variables, with more results to come.

🔴 LIVE now on #ESAWebTV: opening keynote at #LPS25 in Vienna! 🌍 Stay with us for the latest breakthroughs in Earth observation 👉 esawebtv.esa.int The opening ceremony will include the unveiling of the first images from our forest mission, #Biomass 👇 lps25.esa.int/opening-sess...

I'm walking to #LPS25 this morning, glad for the shade of Sycamore trees in the city of Vienna. We need the trees more than ever.🌳

More of this truth telling please (and thank you)

Cuts have consequences, illustrated. As seen on TV 📺

Fantastic introductory seminar by our new PhD student Emil Larsson! 🛰️ He’ll be exploring how hyperspectral satellite data can unlock new insights into Arctic biodiversity ❄️🌱. Excited to follow his journey — and to learn a lot along the way! 📚✨

🌳🛰️ Our groundbreaking Biomass satellite lifted off on Vega-C #VV26 from Europe’s Spaceport in French Guiana at 10:15 BST/11:15 CEST on 29 April. The satellite is designed to provide unprecedented insights into the world’s forests and their crucial role in Earth’s carbon cycle.
