@IntEngineering The forests are not "artificially planted", they are simply planted forests. Nothing artificial about the planting process used there.

@RHarrabin @charlottebsmith @DimitriHoutart @tomheapmedia Awful clickbait headline by the BBC. I'm astounded this made it through BBC review before publishing. UK forests will NOT do more harm than good. Poorly conceived policy or improper policy application would cause harm - but, UK forestry/UKFS/current best practice is an exemplar!

karabiner individually plastic wrapped, then paired and plastic wrapped again, and then wrapped again! That’s 4 layers of single use plastic wrapping! Smarten up your act @amazon & @AmazonUK and stop this #plasticpollution madness.

[Dr Jon Murray @DrJonMurray]

@amazon @AmazonUK I received two parcels today, containing two small items. A single red karabiner in one and two black karabiners in the other. Unfortunately, the #plasticwaste packaging supplied was beyond ridiculous. Two plastic envelopes each with bubble wrap, had each

Here is the second of my 2 recent papers, The novel use of proximal photogrammetry and terrestrial LiDAR to quantify the structural complexity of orchard trees. We compared 2 relatively proximal remote sensing methods to predict top fruit yield and propose the assessment of...

@SalcaSalford @salcasasse @KSzczepura @BoubliJean @EERCSalford Well done Fadal!

[Dr Jon Murray @DrJonMurray]

Had an interesting day with 2 papers accepted for publication within hours of each other. One on the terrestrial laser scanning of orchard trees and the second on quantifying delineation agreement in remote sensing data using a new method. More information/Doi etc. to follow 🌳🌳

First call for papers @GISRUK 2019, to be held at @UniofNewcastle on 23rd to 26th April. Themed as "From Data to Decisions", with a closing date of 18th January 2019. See link for flyer and more details https://t.co/F0m06SKoVL

@CarnegieCAO That's an interesting looking model. What was the classification of? Species? Heights? Crown area? etc. and what were they classified for?
