Terrestrial laser scanning is too expensive? Not any more. @mokros.bsky.social and team have built one for €2k and all the specifications are all open-source papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.... @3dforecotech.bsky.social

Carlos Cabo on the left holds a Hovermap (very good, very expensive) while Martin Mokros on the right holds their new prototype (pretty good, incredibly cheap).

🌲 What if a terrestrial laser scanner cost ~€2k, and still delivered reliable forest data? We built one. And it works. → DBH accuracy ~1.5 cm → Tree height ~1 m → Open hardware + open software Accessible 3D forest monitoring Wherever you are, get in touch 🌍 Preprint: bit.ly/3HneatY #LiDAR

It’s December 1st, and we’re giving kids advent calendars, plus a board game each Sunday until Christmas. My 10-year-old daughter wrote me a letter as Santa. We moved to the UK last year—it’s been tough, and I struggle at times. I’ll use her letter as my mantra in hard times. Not crying, you are!

Hurricanes cause tremendous damage to forests, whether natural or plantations, but we know very little about what actually happens to trees during high winds (for obvious reasons). In our latest work we have the answer... 🧵👇🧪🌏 1/12

A rubber tree plantation on the island of Hainan in China has been trashed following a cyclone. Trees are bent and several have been snapped.
