Foresting Tomorrow is a weekly podcast hosted by Jens Isbak and Rasmus Pedersen. In episode #11, we discuss the worldâs first wooden satellite, LignoSat. We also cover the outcomes of the UN Biodiversity Conference COP16 and explore the role of virtual reality in training forestry professionals. In our extended feature, we wrap up our sensor series with a deep dive into the technology used for wildfire detection. We discuss the stages of a wildfire, how it evolves, and highlight a German company called Dryad, which specialises in ultra-early wildfire detection during the so-called smouldering phase.

Foresting Tomorrow is a weekly podcast hosted by Jens Isbak and Rasmus Pedersen. In episode #10, we briefly revisit the U.S. presidential election and take a quick detour into how dogs use their senses to detect invasive species. We also shed light on the intense workload of wildfire firefighters and the staggering amount of calories they burn during a shift. In our extended feature, we dive into soil moisture sensorsâthe technology behind them, their applications, and how capturing data like soil moisture can lead to better decision-making in our rapidly changing world.

Foresting Tomorrow is a weekly podcast hosted by Jens Isbak and Rasmus Pedersen. In episode #9, we discuss the U.S. presidential election and explore the potential impact of Donald Trump returning to the White House. We also touch on a fascinating development: computers adopting the human sense of smell. In our extended feature, we continue our journey into forestry sensors, unveiling SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) technology and its powerful applications in forestry and nature monitoring. SAR promises significant impacts on vegetation analysis, forest health, deforestation and afforestation, illegal harvesting and infrastructure, wildfire detection, pest monitoringâthe list goes on. We also discuss the limitations of this technology and when it may become widely available.

Foresting Tomorrow is a weekly podcast hosted by Jens Isbak and Rasmus Pedersen. In episode #8, we discuss a new paper highlighting the growing trend of investors committing to nature-positive portfolios. We also cover the latest Nobel Prize winners and their fields of study. Continuing our exploration of sensors, we delve into eDNA technology, featuring a fascinating study where scientists use âeDNA vacuum cleanersâ in forests for high-resolution biomonitoring. This approach offers powerful insights for global nature management and conservation.

Foresting Tomorrow is a weekly podcast hosted by Jens Isbak and Rasmus Pedersen. In episode #7, we discuss Kodama Autopilot â a new take on remote-controlled machines for forestry. We also touch on the secrets of the Wood Wide Web before diving into the scandal of false labelling in cheese with high concentrations of... cellulose. Our extended feature kick-starts a series of deep dives into various sensors used in forestry.

Foresting Tomorrow is a weekly podcast hosted by Jens Isbak and Rasmus Pedersen. In episode #6, we discuss the newly launched SingleTree project, which aims to create a digital value chain at the single-tree level. We also touch on Kelluu, which offers a new approach to aerial monitoring with autonomous airships! For the extended feature, we dive into various robots, like Teslaâs humanoid Optimus, Boston Dynamicsâ Atlas, and the familiar robot Spot. Letâs be honest â itâs a rabbit hole, and we shouldnât expect any of these technologies in forestry in the foreseeable future, but it was fun to explore nonetheless.

Foresting Tomorrow is a weekly podcast hosted by Jens Isbak and Rasmus Pedersen. In episode #5, we discuss the proposal for an additional 12 months of phasing-in time for the EUDR, and an interesting study examining the effects of spraying water vapour onto mature pine tree crowns to understand the impact of soil and air drought in the context of climate change. In our extended feature, we explore exoskeletons and their potential in forestry, covering both active and passive forms, their benefits, and the implications and opportunities of this technology.

Foresting Tomorrow is a weekly podcast hosted by Jens Isbak and Rasmus Pedersen. In episode #4, we continue our discussion on robots in forestry. This time, we talk about the AORO project: the worldâs first AI harvesting machine. We discuss the progress of the project since it began in 2014, its current state, the technology used, and the safety concerns surrounding this exciting machine. We also cover an economic aid package of $145 million for small forest owners in the USA to support healthier forests, genetically engineered wood for enhanced carbon capture and resilience, and, last but not least, Stora Enso's amazing new wooden head office in Finland.

Foresting Tomorrow is a weekly podcast hosted by Jens Isbak and Rasmus Pedersen. In episode #3, we discuss the first FSC-certified cycling tire. Rasmus elaborates on what defines a tree and puts Jens through a quiz on the oldest tree in the world. We also discuss Kraft lignin for battery production, Södra supplying Stora Enso, and we introduce next weekâs topic: robotics in forestry. We kick off with remote-controlled harvesters and briefly touch on autonomous harvesters.

Foresting Tomorrow is a weekly podcast hosted by Jens Isbak and Rasmus Pedersen. In episode #1, we cover the state of the worldâs forests according to the UN, the use of remote sensing, especially LiDAR, and we discuss CLT (Cross-Laminated Timber) in construction.
-
Foresting Tomorrow is a weekly podcast hosted by Jens Isbak and Rasmus Pedersen. We explore the latest innovations in forestry, from remote sensing, drones, and AI, to groundbreaking uses of wood like Cross-Laminated Timber, nanocellulose, and wood-based bioplastics. With a blend of education, humour, and Danish "hygge," we aim to inspire and inform. Whether you're deep in the industry or just curious, join us on a journey to shape the future of sustainable forestry.
