PostDoc in Remote Sensing and Deep Learning
2 weeks ago
The TreeSense project
The research center aims to revolutionize global tree monitoring using advanced nano-satellite technology and next-generation deep learning (DL) methods within AI. This approach will enable detailed assessment of global tree dynamics, including key functional and structural properties such as important species, the use of trees, tree horizontal and vertical structure, carbon stocks and carbon sequestration rates.
This research paves the road towards addressing science questions on major unknowns within global change research. Here the center will break new grounds on how global warming and increased climatic extreme events affect tree physiology and growth patterns at species level and we will quantify the extent and dynamics of anthropogenic forest disturbance and degradation.
Ultimately, this research enable us to uncover the potentials for various forest and tree-related production systems and human livelihoods as means of climate mitigation actions while improving our understanding of the importance of woody resources for sustainable food systems.
The role of the PostDocs will be to develop research techniques for improved assessment and monitoring of woody vegetation ecosystem properties at the level of single trees based on relevant remote sensing technology and AI algorithms, with a focus on disturbances and change dynamics. Specifically, one position will be responsible for large-scale data preparation and curation, such as forming global mosaics from PlanetScope or Sentinel-2 data. This includes setting up downloading and processing pipelines, as well as handling hardware servers and high performance compute (HPC) systems and requires extensive programming skills and proven experience in handling continental-scale high resolution data. The other position focuses on the development of new deep learning methods, such as developing foundation models suited for sub-meter and PlanetScope satellite data, as well as the development of innovative method that can be used for change analysis. This position requires proven experience in tree mapping method development and code/data dissemination.
Research partners are LSCE in France The laboratory - LSCE and CREAF in Spain Home | CREAF, as well as several Chinese universities.
Formal requirements
Applicants should hold a PhD degree in Geography, Geoinformatics, Environmental Sciences, or related. We are seeking a highly motivated and ambitious individual with good interpersonal and communication skills. Fluency in spoken and written English is a requirement. As criteria for the assessment, emphasis will also be laid on previous publications, relevant experience in remote sensing and forest monitoring, as well as on programming skills (e.g. r, python). Proven experience with high-resolution imagery and machine/deep learning techniques are expected as well as proven experiences with handling and processing large image datasets.
Work environment
Your work place will be the Department of Geosciences and Natural Resource Management (IGN), which conducts research and education on the past, present and future physical, chemical and biological environments of the Earth and their interactions with societal and human systems to provide graduates and research in support of sustainable future solutions for society. The department has strong experience in interdisciplinary collaboration within and beyond the department.
Further information on the Department is linked at http://www.science.ku.dk/english/about-the-faculty/organisation/. Inquiries about the position can be made to Professor Rasmus Fensholt, rf@ign.ku.dk .
