A productive and exciting first working group meeting at @cu-esiil.bsky.social 🌐🌎🌱 Funded thro a highly competitive process to bring together researchers across institutions to leverage #bigDataScience in studying community-wide, ecosystem-scale impacts of #biologicalInvasions

1/6 Mountains are hard to measure. A fixed grid over steep, folded terrain blurs hillsides together and buries local detail in coarse pixels. Alpine treelines, where forest gives way to alpine vegetation, are exactly where that blurring matters. So we built something that follows the mountains 👇

6/6 I'm deeply grateful to my coauthor and Ph.D. advisor, Adam M. Wilson, for his guidance and support throughout this project, and to the reviewers and editors for their constructive feedback. #OpenScience #MountainEcology #RemoteSensing

3/6 Instead of forcing mountain terrain into a uniform grid, each transect follows a local forest-to-alpine transition along a single hillslope: standardized enough for global comparison, yet flexible enough to preserve the elevational gradient shaping each treeline ecotone.

4/6 We hope the dataset supports work on treeline dynamics, biodiversity, vegetation productivity, remote sensing, and climate-change impacts. It can also help researchers track how mountain environments shift with elevation and change over time.

2/6 In our new paper in Scientific Data, Adam M. Wilson and I introduce a global dataset of more than 2.3 million alpine treeline elevational transects: "A Global Dataset of Alpine Treeline Elevational Transects"

Excited to share our new open-access paper in Environmental Research Communications! We fused NASA GEDI LiDAR with optical, radar & environmental data to map 11 forest structural metrics at 30 m across 1.17M km² of eastern North America. 📄Paper: doi.org/10.1088/2515... #GEDI #LiDAR #RemoteSensing
