Strengthening Collaboration with SANParks for Conservation Research
Our long-standing collaboration with Dr. Corli Coetsee and Dr. Ben Wigley from SANParks is moving forward with promising new research activities. The joint work is focusing on mapping savanna features more accurately such as trees, paths, or animals through innovative combinations of earth observation data and informatics approaches. In todays discussions, Prof. Katharina Breininger and […]

Mapping Fire from the Sky – Anna Bischof’s MSc Thesis on Savanna Fire Patterns
Wildfires are an essential ecological process in African savannas, shaping landscapes, influencing biodiversity, and playing a key role in nutrient cycling. Understanding their dynamics is crucial for both science and management – and this is where EAGLE MSc student Anna Bischof steps in. As part of her master’s thesis, Anna is analysing spatio-temporal fire patterns […]

Swing by my poster today at the #LPS25!

Excited to share some of our work at the UAS Team, @earth-observation.org ! We’ve been exploring the comparability between UAV-based datasets and Sentinel-2.

New paper by Fol et al. (2025) estimating that the central Arctic Ocean will be continuously ice free from 2035 onwards, already.

This will have severe impacts on ice-dependent Arctic species.
