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
Building Capacity for Climate Research: Remote Sensing Training with West African PhD Students
For two weeks, our NetCDA Team, this time formed by our colleagues Lilly Schell and Michael Thiel, is back at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) as part of the WASCAL Graduate School on Climate Change and Land Use, supporting PhD candidates in developing their own skills on remote sensing analyses related […]
