We’ve achieved a sky-high milestone! New LiDAR-derived elevation datasets have been updated, covering over a million square kilometres. This area covers 36.6M Canadians – that’s 92% of the population! Learn more: ow.ly/t9so50Q0HYi #OpenData

Soon we won't be able to use nightlights as a proxy for economic growth. Why? It's due to limitations of its spectral bands. Here's the breakdown in simple terms:

We are pleased to present the Moustaches of the IRSS for Movember 2023!! 🥸 As per annual tradition, we’ll be voting for our favourite ‘stache - but which one will be the Twitter favourite?! #Movember2023

NEW: #ForestInventory data for all of Canada's forests! #Landsat segmentation for polygons. Replicates inventory data. #SBFI Wulder et al. Development and implementation of a stand-level satellite-based forest inventory for Canada. Paper: doi.org/10.1093/forest… Data: final prep.

The r-lidar development team Université Laval is glad to announce the new lasR package that is complementary to the lidR package github.com/r-lidar/lasR The lasR package is intended to be much more powerful than lidR but also less versatile. It does NOT supersede lidR. #lidR

In our latest publication, we (Integrated RS Studio, Clayton Lamb , Adam ™ Ford, University Laval et al.) used 3 m Planet RGB satellite imagery to map roads in remote forest areas in eastern B.C., Canada using a #pretrained #CNN: Read it now (🔑open access) doi.org/10.3390/rs1606… (1/3)

Happy to see our paper on viral histones and the origin of the nucleosome finally out Nature Microbiology! nature.com/articles/s4156… Many thanks to Tom Richards and @MertonCollege

NEW PAPER📢 Integration of #AirborneLaserScanning data into forest ecosystem management in Canada: Current status and future directions 🔓 #OpenAccess: doi.org/10.5558/tfc202… in The Forestry Chronicle ✍️ @GoodbodyT Coops Liam Irwin @c_armour et al 🙏 NSERC / CRSNG @ubcforestry

A new '#Silva21 Snapshot' is out now! 📸 In Volume 6, members of Integrated RS Studio provide tips for 'Getting your #drone research off the ground'! In this first of 3 issues, it's all about 'Choosing your drone' ✍️ Liam Irwin Sarah Smith-Tripp 🔗: silva21.com/extensionnotes

Members of our lab and the Integrated RS Studio & Lillooet Regional Invasive Species Society spent our #NationalIndigenousPeoplesDay2024 actioning ecological and food systems reconciliation in the wildfire recovery process on St’at’imc territory. @ubcforestry #indigenouspeoplesday #ecology #nativesinstem #wildfire

Here’s an elevation change map of the Chilcotin landslide using pre and post event lidar. Estimated volume about 6x10^6 m^3. Map and comparison by Hakai Institute, flown by KÎSIK, data GeoBC

4/6: In another example, models are applied at a two-week interval to observe the #spatiotemporal patterns of a range of #harvesting intensities in Ontario, Canada.

Excited to have presented my work on remote sensing-based yield curves at ForestSAT this week! If you missed the talk or couldn’t attend the conference, you can check out the slides here: github.com/ptompalski/RSY…

Looks like Prof Coops Integrated RS Studio was making an announcement... co-organizing and hosting #Silvilaser2025 with Alexis Achim! September 29 - October 3, 2025 Québec City, QC, Canada 🇨🇦 🔗silvilaser2025.com

Early spectral patterns can help identify longer recovery in post-fire forests. My 2nd PHD paper (JUST PUBLISHED & OPEN SOURCE) looks at the patterns of structural recovery after fire in British Columbia using early (<5yrs) of spectral data. 🛰️ …lpublications.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/rs…

Happy that our paper on Tree Competition using our R package TreeCompR got published 🎉 - Check it out here: doi.org/10.1111/2041-2… Try out our package: juliarieder.github.io/TreeCompR/

NEW PAPER📢 Seasonal vegetation dynamics for phenotype using multispectral #drone imagery: differentiation, #ClimateAdaptation & hybridization 🔓#OpenAccess: doi.org/10.1016/j.rse.… ✍️Grubinger et al 🙏 NSERC / CRSNG @ubcforestry JoseRiofrio #remotesensing

Happy #EarthRotationDay! As we celebrate this unique day that honors French physicist Léon Foucault, it is also fitting to recognize advancements in #EarthObservation technology. The upcoming #LandsatNext mission will revolutionize our ability to monitor and understand Earth. 🌎

A new growth competition index to inform commercial thinning practices 🗺️🌲 Irwin et al. integrated high-density drone laser scanning and tree-ring data to quantify the relative growth condition of individual trees and their neighbours. 🔗doi.org/10.1093/forest…
