Ready to learn how to use LiDAR for research in #forestry and natural resources using #R? This week I am sharing our 7-part series on Bluesky to help you get started! Share with anyone you know who wants to get started. Part 1 covers acquiring, & viewing LiDAR data! bit.ly/lidR-module1
Excited to share our new Fire Ecology study! 🌲🔥 Terrestrial lidar can rapidly and accurately measure crown scorch 20x faster than traditional methods. Our R package, CrownScorchTLS, helps make this method accessible for large-scale forest monitoring.

Interested in measuring trees and branches from Lidar data? Don't want to use Matlab? (who does).
Take a look at our new Python package for reconstructing trees from point cloud data using quantitative structure models (QSM's).
Fun with @jefferybcannon.bsky.social!

Our study on helping pine forests endure hurricanes was featured in an issue of The Longleaf Alliance magazine. Originally publised in Forest Ecology and Management we show how managing density, promoting tree taper, and reducing fragmentation boosts wind resistance.
