A new MSc. student started her thesis “Suitability of Light detection and ranging (LiDAR) data and texture measures of aerial images to model the species distribution of Glaucidium passerinum (Pygmy Owl) in Vercors, French Alps”. Wanda Graf is using LiDAR data to describe the three dimensional habitat structure of Glaucidium passerinum at different scales. Moreover texture measures of aerial images will be used to describe the habitat structure of Glaucidium passerinum at different scales. It is assumed that LiDAR data are more suitable to model the distribution of Glaucidium passerinum than texture measures of aerial images. The thesis is supervised by Dr. Björn Reineking and Dr. Martin Wegmann
AQUAMOS: New Project on Mosquito Breeding Habitats and Early-Warning Systems
In October 2026, the EORC launched AQUAMOS: “AQUAtic Breeding Habitats and Early MOSquito Warning Systems Using Remote Sensing and Environmental Monitoring”. The pilot project aims to develop a monitoring and early-warning approach for the formation of temporary water...
