Building on the successful workshop series from our first NASA Carbon Monitoring System project, we are planning our next “Maine Forest Carbon Workshop” for May 18-19, 2026, on the 91���� campus in Orono. This two-day workshop will bring together participants representing forest industry, state agencies, conservation organizations, academic researchers, and carbon project developers. The […]

Coastal Spruce Forests: A Guide to Ecological Management is available here: https://digitalcommons.library.umaine.edu/student_work/97/ This management guide is the culmination of Rose Gellman’s Master of Forestry project in the School of Forest Resources. Co-authored by our very own Greg McHale, among others.

Last week, the Wheatland Lab spent several days with Phoenix LiDAR Systems (https://phoenixlidar.com) setting up, testing, and training on its new integrated high-performance lidar and true color mapping camera system.

A recent article in The Maine Monitor describes current research at the 91���� on coastal spruce resilience in the age of climate disruption. Wheatland Geospatial Lab grad student, Greg McHale, is a member of this research team. Greg is using hyperspectral and thermal imagery collected from UAVs, as well as lidar, to assess […]

This summer, the Wheatland Lab is spearheading a comprehensive forest inventory field campaign across multiple sites in Maine. The initiative aims to gather essential on-the-ground plot data to calibrate and validate maps of merchantable volume and aboveground biomass. These maps are derived from photo-based 3-D point clouds acquired statewide by the National Agricultural Imagery Program […]
