A key associate of Mongabay.com, Heinz Award-winner Greg Asner, who's currently mapping the world's reefs for our Reefscape project (hear him describe this work here <https://news.mongabay.com/2018/02/audio-the-cutting-edge-technologies-allowing-us-to-monitor-ecosystems-like-never-before/>) and tropical forests, is looking to grow his lab, really cool opportunity to be on the cutting edge of spatial ecology and tech:
*A postdoctoral research position is available for a computer vision or machine learning expert to develop and apply algorithms to high resolution satellite imagery of tropical forest canopies. The planned study involves the use of high-quality, high-spatial resolution satellite data (0.8m – 3.7m VNIR) from Planet (formerly Planet Labs) and Carnegie Airborne Observatory LiDAR data to map tropical forest stocks and emissions in support of science and conservation efforts led by project partner: the Erol Foundation. * Details: https://bit.ly/2DRh2s2 Erik -- Commentator's Curse: read my new magazine essay arguing for quieter sports experiences here <http://www.erikhoffner.com/commentators-curse-the-case-for-silence-in-televised-soccer>
