Do consider submitting an abstract to our #AGU26 special session on forest structural diversity--we are looking for any and all research connecting structure to function, especially where remote sensing is integrated.
Great time seeing Stygian Bough (Bell Witch/Ariel Ruin collab) and 40 Watt Sun last night in RVA.
The Charlottesville Beat Breast Cancer event is not widely attended, but enjoying the head-to-head drum off between two school's drumlines.
These bullet points are the same you'd have seen on GOP mailers 20 years ago.
The real question to me after day one of Post. Fest is how did We Lost the Sea (from Australia) end up with equipment from ...trail of dead?
Consider submitting to our #AGU25 session on Forest structural complexity (B44). Submissions close on July 30th at midnight EDT. #lidar #ecology @jingfengxiao.bsky.social
Seems, unless I am reading wrong, Forest Service research budget held at $300M for FY26: appropriations.house.gov/news/press-r...
Oh yeah total impulse as it is hanging out with a few other impulse buys (forgive the poor wiring, haven't been able to redo the board yet 🤣)
Amazing @chatpileband.bsky.social show in Richmond tonight. And the obvious Virginia movie you forgot was Dirty Dancing (filmed in Mountain Lake, VA but "set" in the Catskills)
Guys, any idea what the heck this pentagon shape in Colorado is? Post from Reddit r/forestry. Seems to have appeared between 1994-1999. Looks like a regen or disturbance experiment maybe? www.reddit.com/r/forestry/s...
Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #1,171,156! Honestly didn't know I was this early.
Excited to be giving a talk as part of the Savannah River Ecology Lab's seminar series today on novel applications of remote sensing in forest ecology and conservation work
