Expertise of the potential host: Tree and forest structure and function; 3D measurement and modelling, particularly TLS, also 3D modelling, UAV lidar and optical EO more generally. Interests in biomass, allometry, scaling etc.
Description of possible topics: Improved ways to extract 3D tree structure from TLS; links of tree form and function to size an shape; better allometric models for biomass and carbon; links to larger scale EO. Particular interests in extremes of tree shape and environ, urban forests and ecosystem services.
