Sommeren er over, men det skjer fortsatt mye spennende med folkeforskningsprosjektet Natur i Endring. Anders Bryn og Inger Kristine Volden har vært med på flere arrangementer i det siste:
This july, Metteline D. Larsen defended her Master thesis, titled "Changes after 25 years of abandonment in semi-natural hay meadows in Svartdal, SE Norway - a re-analysis".
Vitenskapelig råd for NiN har blitt (gjen)opprettet og hadde første møte 17. Oktober. Rådet skal sikre høy vitenskapelig kvalitet i arbeidet med NiN, og opprettelsen markerer en ny fase med intensivt arbeid med NiN.

This summer, Hilde Riksheim Tandstad defended her MSC thesis: "Vegetation-environment analysis of the transition between avalanche meadows and semi-natural grasslands in Nærøyfjorden, Western Norway". Her work points to gaps in the NiN system that should be addressed in revisions of NiN.
This summer, the position of hundreds of tree- and forest lines have been registered all over Norway, thanks to a citizen science app developed at NHM.
One of our students recently defended her MSC thesis, "A new method to quantify the accuracy of classification and spatial delineation in land cover maps". The method she developed is already being used by the GEco group to train students in vegetation mapping (BIO4120).
Heidrun has been a part of GEco the past four years, and on monday, June 18th she defended her thesis: 'Land cover mapping: methods and quality'.
