The WSL remote sensing group established a lecture series on current topics in the field of remote sensing. Besides latest developments in remote sensing techniques and sensors, special focus is laid on their usability and relevance for practice.
In this webinar we will have five in-house and five external presentations from renowned
The goal of this project is to contribute to the evaluation of non-native tree species that could potentially mitigate mortality in our forests, through scalable drone-based phenotyping approaches and the assessment of mechanistic traits, such as phenological plasticity and drought stress-resistance

The data for avalanche forecasting need to be accessible in high quality as soon as these become available. Any measurement errors, anomalies and data gaps diminish forecast accuracy. We aim to develop algorithms for real-time data cleansing by applying state-of-the-art machine learning approaches.
Hence, the completion of the proposed research will have a major impact, in particular

Pine tree stand and forest site resilience after the severe 2017 wildfire on the slopes of Vesuvius, Italy
Since that date, even some seriously damaged pine stands have started to regenerate
DRYSOM assesses soil organic matter (SOM) to drought in a long-term irrigation experiment (Pfynwald). Responses range from a suppressed processing through microbial and faunal communities, decreases in carbon inputs from trees into soils, to shifts in soil carbon storage.
These SOM shifts have consequences for microbial communities and long-term carbon
We want to explore a stable isotope tree-ring approach for analyzing physiological drought responses of trees. The results are expected to provide a novel diagnostic tool for understanding causes of tree decline.
Deuterium isotope ratios have been rarely applied in this context, but could be an
Alpine regions are subject to dangerous rapid mass movements like debris flows, avalanches and rock falls. Applying intelligent algorithms to seismograms of such events we propose to increase warning and monitoring capabilities.
We have integrated the seismic detection algorithm into an Internet of Things (IoT
