Looking at 100 years of October sea ice - I am sure you can guess what will happen next... Summary of ice reconstruction: www.carbonbrief.org/guest-post-p...

Our long-standing collaboration with Dr. Corli Coetsee and Dr. Ben Wigley from SANParks is moving forward with promising new research activities. The joint work is focusing on mapping savanna features more accurately such as trees, paths, or animals through innovative combinations of earth…

During recent discussions, new opportunities for collaboration emerged between Navashni Govender, Senior Conservation Manager at SANParks in Kruger National Park, Prof. Katharina Breininger, head of the Pattern Recognition Lab in Informatics, and Dr. Mirjana Bevanda from our Earth Observation…

What a week! Thanks a lot to the team and all partners involved to make this research campaign a success #earthobs #uav #uas #fire @uni-wuerzburg.de @earth-observation.org

Done with training - now it counts!

Wildfires are an essential ecological process in African savannas, shaping landscapes, influencing biodiversity, and playing a key role in nutrient cycling. Understanding their dynamics is crucial for both science and management – and this is where EAGLE MSc student Anna Bischof steps in. As part…

In the past weeks, our research team has been preparing for a unique field experiment investigating how drought and fire influence African savanna vegetation. The work is part of the PhD by Luisa Pflumm, she is supported by our PhD student Antonio Castaneda and his MSc student Anna Bischof. The…

Some of our researchers are currently conducting field work in Africa on #fire and #drought impact on #savanna #trees - more details soon on www.earth-observation.org

Impressive fires!

After the fieldwork ist before the fieldwork - @antoniocastaneda.bsky.social working on #uas research hardware preparation in #africa

Our UAS research group is currently out in the field collecting a wide range of environmental data. Fieldwork isn’t only about flying drones – it also involves hands-on problem-solving from coding to practical implications, from soldering and repairing to inventing new circuits for measurements.…

Burning down the savanna!Currently in the field with Luisa Pflumm, @antoniocastaneda.bsky.social & @annabischof.bsky.social for some first #UAS fire trials before we burn our plots next week. Thanks to the fire team for letting us join! #earthobs #fire #tree @uni-wuerzburg.de @earth-observation.org

Swing by my poster today at the #LPS25! Excited to share some of our work at the UAS Team, @earth-observation.org ! We’ve been exploring the comparability between UAV-based datasets and Sentinel-2. @schwalb-willmann.de @bevanda.bsky.social

Glad that there has been so much interest in our DL approach on detecting animal paths in UAV RGB data! Thanks to all who made this study possible, incl. Leonie Sonntag, @bevanda.bsky.social, @antoniocastaneda.bsky.social, Martin Wegmann, Ben Wigley, Corli Coetsee, Doris Klein & Stefan Dech #LPS25

Kicking off our field campaign year 2025!

New paper by Fol et al. (2025) estimating that the central Arctic Ocean will be continuously ice free from 2035 onwards, already. This will have severe impacts on ice-dependent Arctic species. doi.org/10.1038/s432...

The temperature spike continues in the high #Arctic... 🧪⚒️❄️🥼 Graphs at zacklabe.com/arctic-tempe...

Thank you UNIS for organizing the snow scooter course! It was a fantastic opportuniy for our Earth Observation staff and EAGLE students to learn new skills in a fun and dynamic setting.

Thanks to @larissabeumer.bsky.social for organizing an incredible workshop on integrating wildlife and snow-ice expertise at UNIS! With great colleagues from Canada to Europe, we explored the potential of collaborativ research. Grateful for the collaboration and insights! #earthobs

our EAGLE #EarthObservation students are currently conducting field work and #UAS #UAV measurement in the Arctic for #snow conditions analysis for #ecology - supervised by @bevanda.bsky.social @larissabeumer.bsky.social Simone Lang and others ... #Earthobs #GISchat #rspatial #remotesensing #thermal

Happy to be back on Svalbard for some #uas #snow #ice #remotesensing using #lidar and #thermal sensors - looking forward to work with @larissabeumer.bsky.social and others on #ecology and #earthobs with @schwalb-willmann.de @eor-wuerzburg.bsky.social

🚨 All latitude bands observed warmer than normal temperatures in 2024. Unsurprisingly, the largest departures were in the Arctic region. [Plot shows zonal-mean surface air temperature anomalies, where latitude = y-axis (not scaled by distance). Data: NASA/GISS GISTEMPv4; 1951-1980 anomaly baseline]

Dear all! As RStoolbox was finally published in "Methods in Ecology and Evolution 🌍" (doi.org/10.1111/2041...), the new version 1.0.1 with updates for a fully customizable index database running on C++ is now available on CRAN! cran.r-project.org/web/packages...

Are you already using #tstoolbox or never heard of it before? Check it out and run your #remotesensing data analysis in #rstats -- let us know if something is missing- dev. by @caipide.bsky.social @schwalb-willmann.de and B Leutner #earthobs #rspatial #gischat remote-sensing.org/exploring-th...
