From data gaps to actionable insight — TWIG tracks wildfire treatments coast to coast.

I just grabbed the tiles that overlapped NAU property... plus I don't want to see how high the solar potential is in my back yards now that my neighbor to the west removed like 6 trees!

Quick little run last night on a 37sq km area in Flagstaff using vostokR (my R wrapper for VOSTOK - doi.org/10.11588/dat...). I've got most* of the kinks worked, made it 2.5x faster, and it now works with lidR!!!! It's almost ready for release.

Looking for some shade on NAU's campus or in downtown Flagstaff? I got you covered...

Just out: A new geodatabase of fuel treatments across federal lands—published in Scientific Data.

Whether you’re mapping change or assessing risk, TWIG shows when and where treatments happened.

Grateful to be part of a team!

The Turkeyfeather Fire in the Gila Wilderness, NM has burned as a low-severity fire over about 24,000 acres (so far). This is a continuation of a fire regime that existed for millennia before the 20th century. This 🧵reviews the fire history of the Gila, as my colleagues and I have studied it. 1/18

🔥 New study: 85% of remaining #LongleafPine habitat faces tropical storm-force winds every 6 years. We explore how #storms, #fire, insects, and salvage logging interact to shape resilience—and what managers can do about it. bit.ly/44QK3Uk Led by @nzampieri.bsky.social

Happy to see this one out too!

Got to get out and do a little PJ scanning today.

Implemented a solution for a MS student's project, so when I find time to get back to it I'll likely try and get it packaged.

Finally got the first version of my R code/wrapper working that calculates solar potential in watt hours per square meter and day, summed by pixel using vostok - github.com/3dgeo-heidel...

The allusive search for "age" from lidar continues....

Spent the morning prepping some visuals using #lidR ands #spanner - github.com/bi0m3trics/s...
