The final project presentations of the spatial coding course by the EAGLE students revealed quite some impressive analysis achieved within the last couple of months. All analysis were done using R and presentations created within R using knitr. The aim was to run a variety of remote sensing analysis using R coding in order to increase the coding and remote sensing skills.

The project topics ranged from landcover change detection to sensitivity analysis of thresholds, covariates or training data concerning supervised classifications. All students added their scripts to a git and some even provided dedicated R packages for their specific analysis.

It was great to experience their coding skill development using remote sensing data over the past last months and to see their impressive achievements. Looking very much forward to the next courses.

First-semester EAGLE students deliver an impressive suite of R packages

One of the most encouraging signs of a strong Earth Observation curriculum is when students move beyond learning existing tools and start building their own. In their very first semester of the EAGLE MSc program, our students did exactly that: developing a diverse and...

EORC Talk: Strengthening Earth Observation Capacity for Biodiversity Conservation in the Democratic Republic of the Congo

How can Earth Observation support biodiversity conservation and strengthen local research capacities in Central Africa? In his EORC Talk, Jean-Paul Kibambe Lubamba from the University of Kinshasa presents the experiences and impact of the EOCap4Africa initiative,...

Rethinking Examinations in Remote Sensing Education: From Presentations to Peer Code Review

At EAGLE, we recently experimented with a different examination format for our Earth Observation (EO) courses: one that focuses less on presentations and more on building reusable scientific software. Instead of giving a final talk, each student had to develop a...

EAGLE Students Present EO Research Following Winter Fieldwork on Zugspitze

Students from the EAGLE MSc program recently presented their Earth Observation research during a conference-style poster session at our EORC, showcasing projects developed from our intensive winter fieldwork conducted at the Schneefernerhaus Environmental Research...

Collaboration with Forest Ecology, Goettingen

A recent visit to the University of Göttingen provided the opportunity for collaboration talks with the group of Prof. Dr. Dominik Seidel, Faculty of Forest Sciences and Forest Ecology, Department for Spatial Structures and Digitization of Forests. Discussions focused...

From Kruger to Potchefstroom: Reconnecting with South African EAGLE

After completing their internship in Kruger National Park, EAGLE students Sebastian and Clemens were not quite ready to leave South Africa behind. Instead of heading straight home, they reunited with their South African EAGLE friend, Charl Strydom, for a road trip...
