Another publication from the Phd by Yvonne Walz just got published. Read the abstract and check out the online availability: Schistosomiasis is the most widespread water-based disease in sub-Saharan Africa. Transmission is governed by the spatial distribution of specific freshwater snails that act as intermediate hosts and human water contact patterns. Remote sensing data have been utilized for spatially explicit risk profiling of schistosomiasis. We investigated the potential of remote sensing to characterize habitat conditions of parasite and intermediate host snails and discuss the relevance for public health.
New Earth Observation Project on Thermal Satellite Data
We are honored that we are part of a new research and development project, focusing on the development of a satellite constellation capable of delivering high-resolution thermal data with a high revisit rate. The observations aim to make an important contribution to...
