🛰️ 🌳 Happy to be part of the team pioneering a remote-sensing framework combining #LiDAR and RGB(I)/MS sensors to revolutionize #forest monitoring. Recently applied in Paraguay and Germany, this approach unlocks insights for sustainability & biodiversity #conservation.

In a recent publication The Forestry Chronicle involving our research group, M. Erdozain contributed to assessing #forest management effects on #habitat areas & #biodiversity based on #LiDAR information, integrating research, monitoring & landscape ecology pubs.cif-ifc.org/doi/10.5558/tf…

We are seeking a Ph.D. student for our recently NASA-funded HI-GRASS project, which uses imaging spectroscopy to uncover the factors influencing grassland aboveground and belowground biodiversity hamedgholizadeh.wixsite.com/mysite/grassla…

Excited to share I’ve joined the Editorial Board of Community Ecology (Springer: link.springer.com/journal/42974)! 🌍📖 Looking forward to contributing to its mission and promoting impactful work, especially bridging ecological research with remote sensing technologies 🌲🛰️

During the war in Ukraine, alongside the devastating loss of human lives, vast areas of forests have also been destroyed. In this new paper, we estimated this forest loss using AI and remote sensing data. 🌲📡 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Have you ever thought using LiDAR from mobile, terrestrial, and spaceborne GEDI combined with optical and radar satellite data Copernicus EU , to characterize forest structural complexity?🌲🛰️ We did! Check out this paper, led by Patrick Kacic sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
