A new publication lead by Duccio Rocchini has been published in Ecological Indicators titled “Remotely sensed spatial heterogeneity as an exploratory tool for taxonomic and functional diversity study“. This publication stressed the challenges to assess biodiversity from in-situ data and encourages to explore novel approaches to compute diversity measures. Remote Sensing can achieve that while covering large areas over a short period of time and thus allows to map diversity hotspots from space-borne systems. read more here:
Empowering Biology Students with Open-Source Spatial Data Skills
At EORC, we believe that spatial thinking and geodata literacy are becoming essential skills across scientific disciplines. This semester, we had the pleasure of contributing to the Biology MSc programs MERGE and other study tracks at the Biology Institute through a...
