Can site index be determined using branch whorls detected by deep learning from very dense laser scanning data? 🌲 Check out our newly published paper to find out! academic.oup.com/forestry/adv...

Great presentations from Kim Andre Anstensen Nielsen and Hans Ole Ørka at the Silvilaser conference in Quebec City! A big thank you to the organizing committee for such a well-planned event, and to all participants for the insightful presentations and engaging discussions.

Congratulations to Dr. Olha Nahorna for a well defended PhD thesis entitled "Assessing the importance of improved forest data for decision-making process" Thank you to the evaluation committee Göran Ståhl, Olalla Díaz-Yáñez, and Erik Næsset, and supervisors Kyle Eyvindson and Terje Gobakken.

A big thank to Sverre Holm (Glommen Mjøsen Skog), together with Maria Åsnes Moan and Ole Martin Bollandsås (SkogRover group, NMBU) for leading the discussion on Continuous Cover Forestry during the SmartForest Days! It’s inspiring to see so much passion for sustainable forestry practices 🌲

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!

We’re thrilled to welcome our new postdoc, Rachel Kuzmich, to the team! Rachel will be using multi-sensor multi-temporal remote sensing data to examine climate-related forest change. Excited to have her join us!

A warm welcome to our new PhD candidate, Kim Andre Anstensen Nielsen! Kim will use remote sensing and AI to predict forest attributes, from biophysical metrics to complex structures and biodiversity indicators. We are excited to have him on board!

Good turnout for our course on mixed-effect models for forest applications! Special thanks to professors Emma Holmström and Lauri Mehtätalo for their valuable contributions, and Dr Svetlana Saarela for leading the course.
