"30+ Years of Precision Technology for Plant Science, Biotechnology, and Agriculture".
Great lecture by @EddieCustovic, Managing Director of Scientific Instruments Australia (@PSI), delivered to the Master’s students of Advanced Crop Monitoring Methods at @SciMelb @UniMelb.

After 20+ years of pioneering research, we’ve moved from scepticism to solid validation in detecting solar-induced fluorescence using mid-resolution hyperspectral imagery. New study led by @WonseokFromESL & @ryuyr77 and international collaborators.

The HyperSens Lab @TomasPoblete17 @danielle_ydtang took flight at Dookie campus @VicHub_Drought @SciMelb @UniMelb! Our campaign captured data from the long-term #FutureDroughtFund trial @DAFFgov while giving students hands-on experience with #RemoteSensing #DroughtResilience

Mitigating the phenological effects on rice blast detection with hyperspectral data adapting a radiative transfer model. A new step forward. Int'l collaboration led by Tao Cheng and Bowen Xue @njau_china with @HyperSensLab @UniMelb & @QuantaLab

Great day at @SciMelb Open Day! We presented our airborne facility and showed how hyperspectral + thermal sensing detects plant stress (biotic & abiotic) before symptoms are visible. Hands-on demos highlighted how sensors can see beyond the human eye in early detection of stress.

Excited and proud to welcome our new Postdoctoral Research Fellow, @danielle_ydtang. Her research will focus on integrating remote sensing & plant physiology for drought resilience, with @TomasPoblete17 & Prof. Michael Tausz, in the DAFF-funded Survival Signatures project.

In IGARSS 2025, we were happy to introduce a new approach to compensate for atmospheric effects on at-sensor radiance and the added fluorescence signal. Thanks to @ZarcoTejada @TomasPoblete17 @anirudhb20 and Ran (University of Nebraska–Lincoln). @HyperSensLab @UniMelb @QuantaLab

Airborne hyperspectral and field campaign for innovative fluorescence, photosynthesis & water stress in vineyards and orchards in Valencia, Spain. Collaborative research between @DIntrigliolo @CidEinvestiga & @IAS_CSIC with @QuantaLab & @IrriSens and @HyperSensLab @UniMelb.

Our latest paper, led by Peiye Li as part of her PhD thesis, disentangled the roles of the blue spectral region and SIF in predicting nitrogen and phosphorus in Pinus radiata using hyperspectral imagery.

We found a distinct contribution of the blue spectral region and fluorescence emission when explaining needle nitrogen and phosphorus variability with hyperspectral imagery. Research led by Peiye Li @UniMelb with @HyperSensLab & @QuantaLab @IAS_CSIC.

Rice blast infection signals revealed. Multi-temporal proximal hyperspectral imagery captured the transition of disease lesions from asymptomatic to symptomatic stages, distinguishing subtle pathogen-induced signals.

Our new internationally collaborative paper in Phytopathology explores the opportunities and challenges of combining optical sensing with epidemiological modelling. https://t.co/ygrYyM9zDP

It's always rewarding to look back and cherish the places, feelings, colleagues, and friends from @HyperSensLab @UniMelb. In a world without distances, presence still matters. Thank you all for your big smiles and the wonderful memories from our amazing remote sensing group.

[Pablo J. Zarco-Tejada @ZarcoTejada]

Enjoyed the hospitality and great atmosphere with former and new colleagues at the International Symposium on Smart Agriculture Technology in Nanjing, China, presenting @IAS_CSIC & @UniMelb work on the dynamics of hyperspectral traits for crop stress detection.

Another successful campaign in Renmark! Collected hyperspectral & thermal data to uncover crop yield variability in almond orchards for Thulasi Vishwanath's PhD thesis @HyperSensLab. Excited for the insights ahead! @ZarcoTejada @vicgd1977 @LalaWang17
