We study these carbon cycle processes from plot to global scale, using satellite data for ecosystem-scale studies all the way from the Tropical forests to the High-Arctic tundra. Data is used for improving our understanding of how these ecosystems are functioning, and how the ecosystems are affected by climate and land use changes, and to improve our understanding of how well climate change mitiga

With a changing climate, there is an increasing risk of more frequent and severe disturbance events damaging our ecosystems. These disturbances can be events such as droughts, windstorms, insect attacks or forest fires and they can affect the carbon balance as well as the economy. Hence, it is important to develop methods to monitor disturbances. Defoliating insectsInsect attacks can be dynamic ev

Humans have a strong influence on landscapes and their environmental component, and many of the changes linked to human activities are visible from space. With earth observation we can derive information about human activities in the region we are studying. We can study changes in land use or land cover and link them to socio-economic and political processes in several ways. Urban expansion can be

Near-surface remote sensing, or proximal remote sensing, narrows the focus to observations made in close proximity to the land surface, such as on the top of a tripod, mast, or tower, or from a drone. When we mention remote sensing, our minds often jump to images captured by satellites. In reality, many measurements taken from a distance without direct contact with the target fall under the umbrel
