#3DGEO
Fantastic research led by our 3DGeo team member Vanessa Guthier made possible by a great collboration between Heidelberg (3DGeo Research Group Heidelberg: Vanessa Guthier, Hannah Weiser, Bernhard Höfle) and Finland (Eetu Puttonen, Mariana Campos). Thanks also to Nicole Aeschbach for your support.

🌍 Building on projects in the #3DGeo Research Group @bernhardhofle.bsky.social @uniheidelberg.bsky.social and at the @hse-heidelberg.bsky.social, I developed a transferable framework that shows how transdisciplinary research, research-oriented teaching, and learning can be brought together.

Super exciting research project of our institute, together with partners from University of Innsbruck and from the Austrian Academy of Sciences uni-heidelberg.de/ahk-4d

Not sure what's the best part, the #fieldwork, the #pointclouds or the #changeanalysis methods 🤩

Co-authored by Prof. Bernhard Höfle (@bernhardhofle.bsky.social) and Vivien Zahs (both 3DGeo) and by Prof. Olaf Bubenzer (Geomorphology and Soil Geography) from the Institute of Geography at Heidelberg University.

These are some of the many interesting questions that we intensively discussed in our #3DGeo summer solstice #journal_club, for which I selected an article (explicitly outside our research domain) that was recently published in Nature Ecology & Evolution. (3/4)

With #pytreedb you can also host the meta-database yourself on one of your servers as REST API, website or use it in your #Python scripts. #pytreedb does not store point clouds. Full data control remains with the data owner(s). It is a "search engine" for trees 🔎🌳.
