Learn about my current project investigating **tree-hydraulic architecture**.
Joining the @unigoettingen departments Plant Ecology and Ecosystem Research, Bioclimatology, and Spatial Structures and Digitization of Forests we explore using #Sapflow of a forest tree and stand-based climate data how water distributes in the canopy. #hydrology #research #climate #drought stress #canopy #LiDAR #treeclimbing #plantscience

“One of the things that’s really interesting in that regard is bus stops. In these kinds of areas, people tend to take more public transportation,” Lookingbill said. “We found that a lot of those bus stops are areas that are uncovered and don’t have a lot of tree cover or artificial bus stop cover.” https://virginiamercury.com/briefs/study-shows-historically-redlined-virginia-neighborhoods-are-hotter-in-the-summer/ #climate #transit #equity #redlining #canopy #PublicHealth

Architectural Waves by the Sea

It’s been a few years since I’ve been in Malaga. This one is from November 2018 on a lovely sunny day. I love the “Palmeral de las Sorpresas” pergola is an eye-catching structure along the promenade.

Oak (Quercus Agrifolia) tree canopy on the Stanford University Campus #oak #stanford #canopy #stanforduniversity #tree #nature

The canopy has been removed from the fuselage so that I can glue in round foam 'rod' that will serve as a seal when the canopy is closed onto the canopy rail.

Tomorrow I will flip the canopy end-for-end and finish gluing the rest of the foam.

Fitting the foam will be through trial and error. In some sections the foam will be too thick...I'll sand it down. In sections where the foam is not thick enough...I'll put a thick layer of tape on the canopy rail.

A good canopy seal helps reduce noise, cold air leaks at high altitude, and can even improve glide performance a tiny bit.

A few places along the canopy frame bonding flange have a gap in the adhesive.

I pumped some RTV silicone into a syringe and was able to fill the gaps with strong squeezing and not too much mess.

Can I get in and out of the cockpit? (I'm 6ft 4in...193cm.) Do I fit in it with the canopy closed?

1st - A carbon fiber plank props the canopy up at maximum height.

2nd - I am sitting on the canopy rail while wearing my parachute. With the canopy fully raised I do not have to duck or play the limbo dance to get into the cockpit. This is very good.

3rd - I am stretched out comfortably in the cockpit, which is unusual for tall pilots in many gliders. When the canopy is lowered, the instrument panel will be at mid-thigh.

4th - When the canopy is closed, I have about an inch of clearance from the top of my head to the canopy. That's just enough room to put on a bucket hat.

The wide angle lens makes it look like a large cavern, but note that I have about an inch of clearance for each of my shoulders.
