Forest Remote Sensing
We use sensors such as cameras, laser scanners, and radar to develop methods for measuring and analysing forests and vegetation. The sensors can be mounted on satellites, aircraft, drones, or placed in forests to capture the landscape from different perspectives.
Forest Planning
Forest planning refers to the process that provides information on how forests should be managed to meet the objectives of landowners, stakeholders, or society. We develop methods for this process, thereby contributing to the sustainable use of forest resources.
Forest Inventory and Sampling
The research area covers forest and landscape inventory, as well as the development of cost-effective inventory systems that utilise and combine multiple data sources.
Mathematical Statistics Applied to Forest Sciences
We use sensors such as cameras, laser scanners, and radar to develop methods for measuring and analysing forests and vegetation. The sensors can be mounted on satellites, aircraft, drones, or placed in forests to capture the landscape from different perspectives.
Landscape Studies
We describe and analyse the state of and changes in ecosystems and societies—locally and at the landscape level—with a focus on sustainability issues.

Ground-penetrating radar systems: making qualitative forest soil data quantitative
Analysis of soil structure in forest environments often relies on time-consuming and sometimes destructive sampling. This project develops innovative radar systems for non-invasive measurements of soil properties, enabling improved decision-making in forestry and environmental management. -
Mistra Digital Forest
Mistra Digital Forest is a research programme that leverages digitalisation to promote sustainable development in forestry.
