Long Night of Research

Last Friday the Biomet group, namely Alex, Albin and Georg, participated in the Long Night of Research activities by the University of Innsbruck with an off-campus outpost at the FAIR site. About 50 folks visited us in the afternoon and were given a tour to the field infrastructure, could engage in a Pine species guessing game and enjoy the miracles of thermal imaging (especially the kids). Thanks to the Research Area Mountain Regions, Florian Westreicher from the Public Relations Office and Anouk for their support.

GNSS-T system installed at FAIR site

Today, with the help of Nico Bader from CLIMERS TU Wien, Mario, Herbert and Albin installed three GNSS receivers at the FAIR site to allow for the separate calculation of vegetation optical depth (VOD) for the tree canopy and understory strata.
