EORC PhD student Lilly Schell, together with Dr. Insa Otte, recently conducted fieldwork in Botswana. They investigated the application of Earth Observation for invasive plant species mapping and their impact on the ecosystem. Working closely with local experts, the team visited conservation areas, including Moremi Game Reserve, Nxai Pan National Park, and the Panhandle region of the Okavango Delta. They conducted on-site assessments and collected GPS data on both terrestrial and aquatic invasive species. These data will contribute to Lilly’s PhD thesis, which will focus on invasive species in African protected areas, providing a foundation for further ecological analysis and conservation strategies.

Überwiegend werden eigene originäre Texte und Bilder des EORC genutzt, jedoch sind einige Inhalte von blog post Texten teilweise mit Hilfe von KI überarbeitet worden und einige Bilder sind ganz mit KI erstellt, die jedoch deutlich keine photorealistische Darstellungen abbilden. Aussnahmen sind KI generierte fernerkundliche Datensätze, die explizit für Forschungszwecke mit KI erstellt wurden, hier wird aber durch den assoziierten Text der wissenschaftliche Grund der KI generierten Bilder erläutert.
