As part of our ongoing collaboration with our EOCap4Africa project partners, two members of the EORC (Dr. Insa Otte, Lilly Schell) at the University of Würzburg recently took a field trip to the Rhön Biosphere Reserve with our visiting scientists.
We visited two wetland sites—Rotes Moor and Schwarzes Moor—both important ecosystems that play a key role in regional biodiversity and climate regulation.
The excursion offered valuable on-the-ground insights into wetland ecology, restoration efforts, and the challenges of monitoring these dynamic landscapes. Observations in the field complemented our remote sensing approaches and sparked lively discussions on linking in-situ data with satellite-based analysis. Field experiences like this are essential for building shared understanding across disciplines and cultures—and for grounding our research in the real-world environments we aim to protect.
