"The PDRA will work with a wide range of data collected and collated for Dr Lines' FLF, including extensive co-located ground inventory, Terrestrial Laser Scanning and drone remote sensing data from a range of sites across Europe, and national forest inventory datasets from several European countries. The PDRA will develop new methods to fuse these data with satellite data, and create detailed information about the spatio-temporal variation in forest structural properties across Europe. This will be used to inform new predictive modelling frameworks that flexibly incorporate the full range of data available to predict the future of European forests. The successful candidate will also participate in fieldwork within Europe, and disseminate findings through peer-reviewed publications and presentations at international conferences."
