Our PhD candidate Ines Standfuss teaches at AniMove

June 20, 2024

Our PhD candidate Ines Standfuss is teaching remote sensing for animal movement analysis this year at MPI at Lake Constanze. The AniMove science school has been founded more than ten years ago together with MPI and other organisations such as Smithsonian joined in the following years.

AniMove is now a leading international science school for animal movement analysis and incorporation of earth observation data. Also our moveVis R package evolved through courses within AniMove and developed into a full R package. It is always a great experience to see a very diverse group of young animal movement scientist, many are working in conservation or biology, to explore the potential of R based movement analysis and applying remotely sensed environmental information for their specific research fields.
