Environmental remote sensing: microwaves and data-model fusion for vegetation, fires, water, carbon cycle, Prof @TUD Dresden University of Technology
The GEDI spaceborne lidar sensor shows how forests in Central Europe have changed since 2019. The canopy cover of the overstorey has declined, while that of the understorey has increased.
Nice work from @xiaoliusar.bsky.social

... we found:
• A litter fuel moisture model from 🇦🇺 for Eucalyptus also works well for beech and spruce forests.
• Fire Weather Index from EFFIS and German WBI underestimate fire danger in bark beetled forest stands.
• Soil moisture and Sentinel-1 backscatter are no good predictors for dead-FMC.

We investigated fuel moisture content 💧🔥 in Central European forests
➡️ www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
We conduced automated and destructive measurements of litter, woody debris and of live vegetation. Then we compared with two models, Fire Weather Indices and with satellite observations ...

Historical spy imagery for the entire State of Saxony 🇩🇪 is now available to the public. Together with #GeoSN we published @leipzigerbuchmesse.bsky.social country-wide georeferenced mosaics for 1965 and 1975.
