Great presentation and poster contributions from Arvin Fakhri and Marie-Claude Jutras-Perreault at the INFOBIOM IV Workshop in Copenhagen! Many thanks to the organizing committee for an excellent event, and to all participants for the inspiring talks and engaging discussions.

A warm welcome to our new postdoc, Arvin Fakhri. Arvin will be exploring potential direct links between biodiversity and remotely sensed data across different scales, with the goal of producing a wall-to-wall biodiversity map of a demonstration area. We are very happy to have him onboard!

Excited to start my postdoc at NMBU @uninmbu.bsky.social I’ll be working on remote sensing and forest biodiversity in the BioDivAbove project: linking forest structure, deadwood, and fungi to big-picture ecosystem patterns.

My PhD at K.N.T.U began in the Zagros forests of Kurdistan, where remote sensing was my tool, but the forest was my real classroom.

20 plots, hundreds of #Riegl TLS scans, thousands of berries… 🌲🫐 and a million laughs. Norway field campaign = success! 💪 Now we are back in Berlin and ready to process our data. Shoutout to our amazing field crew: Arvin, Asad, Chiara, Ephraim, Johann, Marius & Miriam! #RonnieRieglOnTour

Our fieldwork is in full go – our team is out in the woods every day batteling rain, swamps, sheep and running from cows – the dangers you find in northern Europe 😉 – all with the #Riegl on our shoulders. But check out these stunning views we get in return! It’s all worth it. #RonnieRieglOnTour

We are getting ready to head to Norway! 🌲🌾🌲 Our team will collect terrestrial laser scanning data to on the connection between forest structure and biodiversity – we are looking forward to two weeks in the beautiful boreal forest north of Oslo. And we are prepared for swampy conditions 😉
