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.
Monitoring Urban Heat with Multi-Sensor Earth Observation: The SMART-TWIN Project
Urban areas are increasingly exposed to heat stress, making climate-sensitive planning more important than ever. As part of this effort, our team has recently started a new project focused on urban heat monitoring using multi-sensor Earth Observation approaches. The...
