A super neat new paper from leo lymburner, providing a new method for mapping innundation *under* forest canopy using #Landsat and #Sentinel2 satellite data! 🛰️🌳💧

Culminating multiple decades of research, with accelerating capacity for large area implementation and product development over the last decade, we have implemented a national forest monitoring system for Canada:
The National Terrestrial Ecosystem Monitoring System ( #NTEMS ).🌲🇨🇦

Forest practitioners really appreciate canopy height models for numerous tasks related to forest management. We asked practitioners in which rhythm they require new canopy height information and at what spatial scale. You can find their replies here: tinyurl.com/INSANEfff

Happy to share that my 2nd PhD paper was recently published in Remote Sensing of Environment (RSE)!

Celebrate two decades of #LANDFIRE in 2024! This milestone year brings the LANDFIRE 2023 Update, an improved product suite that includes a truly annual update and two new #LandDisturbance products that will enable faster #DataDelivery . Learn more here: ow.ly/S2nW50RRSkc

The first chapter of my PhD research has been published!🥳We present LakeTEMP: a dataset of #Landsat 8 surface water temperature observations and ice phenology estimations for all lakes in the world that are larger than 0.1 km² (~1.4 million).🧵 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Late results from our INSANE project. We used a questionnaire survey to ask forest practitioners across central and southern Europe (see map) concerning their expectations for remote sensing based forest information products. It is a long one again ;-) tinyurl.com/INSANEfff

'Specifically, models trained in years with high data density performed well in that same year but poorly when transferred to years with lower density.'

'Data providers need to understand that remote sensing products must offer added value to foresters’ work & not only a map of what foresters already know'
Forest practitioners’ requirements for remote sensing-based canopy height, wood-volume, tree species & disturbance products👇

I can't stop being amazed by this marvel! #Landsat best available pixel composite for Europe 2023 🛰️ thanks to #FORCE_EO #USGS

Still use logistic/harmonic to model time series reflectance? Check our new self-supervised learning for interpolation (SSLI) (shorturl.at/djJP0) uses ChatGPT style training, i.e., masked out some words (observed reflectance) in sentences (time series) for supervision.

Forest recovery success or failure? Remote sensing can help answer this question. Take a look at our new RSE paper: doi.org/10.1016/j.rse.…
Big thanks to my amazing co-authors Alba Viana Soto , Ana Stritih , Rupert Seidl and especially Cornelius Senf for the great support!
