Measuring & weighing all the trees in Canada, including those outside forest ecosystem in agricultural & urban areas is the 1st step for properly assessing ecosystem restoration potential and accounting national carbon budget.

A successful LiDAR fieldwork day at St. Williams Conservation Reserve. 14 hectares scanned in a few hours with Derek Robinson Nur Hussain

🌲🔥Exciting Update! We've overlaid our preliminary 30-m res burned area detection results on the Above Ground Biomass (ABG) image for Canada, revealing insights into areas affected by wildfires. It's estimated that 17.7 million hectares of forest have been burned this year!

🐛🪲🌳 Our study shows a more extensive expansion of insect defoliation across Ontario, Canada from 2018 to 2020 than previously known. Rising temperature & proximity to roads emerged as key drivers. Crucial challenges for forest management in the region. frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

We are searching for a postdoc for NSERC / CRSNG project to build or adapt laser induced fluorescence LiDAR for forest ecosystems with potential research visits to Forschungszentrum Jülich in Germany. Please share: remotesensing-mcmaster.org/join/

My Almamater, the Laboratory of Geo-information Science and Remote Sensing at Wageningen University is seeking Tenure Track assistant or associate professor of land Remote Sensing. See the details here: wur.nl/en/vacancy/ass…

#GEDI data returning soon! This is very very exciting.

Check out XINRAN GAO poster today at X5.190 on time lag of vegetation response to climate #EGU2024 Another lab presentation tomorrow by Wen Zhuo on casual inference of soil moisture response to different climate pathways over horn of Africa at X3.28

If you are at the Canadian Symposium on Remote Sensing check out our lab's presentation, wildfire carbon emissions by Zilong Zhong and peat depth mapping by Yiyao Li this afternoon, canopy height mapping by José Bermúdez and UAV LiDAR biomass estimation by Kangyu So tomorrow

Today at BE-STEMM, I spoke about our research at the Gonsamo Group on quantifying carbon emissions from wildfires in Canada using machine learning. Special thanks to my co-authors: Zilong Zhong , @ky_rell , José Bermúdez , and Alemu Gonsamo. #Wildfire #RemoteSensing #ML

The Hudson Bay Lowlands peat depth, carbon stock, ground measurements and associated datasets are now online here: doi.org/10.5683/SP3/TI… We also have wet and dry peat spectral measurements for full peat depth at 5cm interval for anyone interested.

Excited to share our latest paper in Geophysical Research Letters led by PhD student XINRAN GAO. Humid, Warm and Treed Ecosystems Show Longer Time‐Lag of Vegetation Response to Climate agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/20… The research was supported by NSERC / CRSNG

My new research on estimating canopy height with uncertainty information based on Optical/SAR and GEDI Data over Northern Forests available on arxiv.org/abs/2410.18108 Camile Söthe @ky_rell Dominic Cyr, Alemu Gonsamo

Can we produce GEDI like canopy height for high latitude forests? Here we use C-, L-band SAR and optical data to extrapolate GEDI canopy height and propagate uncertainty. The use of seasonal data reduced error by 0.45 m and decreased bias by 1 m. Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2410.18108

Our open access paper, Peat Depth and Carbon Storage of the Hudson Bay Lowlands, Canada is online now in Geophysical Research Letters. We implement creative ensemble learning approach on multiple models to minimize overfitting. agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…
