The Faculty of Environmental Sciences and Natural Resource Management at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences (NMBU) has a vacant three-year postdoctoral position related to remote sensing of forest biodiversity. The postdoctoral fellow will work closely with an interdisciplinary team of researchers from NMBU and University of Oslo in the BioDivAbove project, funded by the Research Council of Norway.
The main objective is to develop a method for predicting biodiversity in boreal forests. The purpose is to give forest managers improved management tools to mitigate species loss. This will be achieved by connecting remotely sensed data and ground biodiversity surveys primarily based on eDNA. Our new colleague will contribute by developing airborne laser scanning (ALS) and multispectral imagery-based methods for predicting forest structure, deadwood as well as nutrient and moisture gradients. The postdoctoral fellow will also be central for exploring possible direct links between biodiversity and remotely sensed data derived at different scales and produce a wall-to-wall map of biodiversity of our demonstration area.
