🌍🌿🎤 "Climate change and biodiversity are closely connected”
Maria J. Santos and Gabriela Schaepman-Strub explain how biodiversity and climate change influence each other and what needs to be done to overcome the climate and biodiversity crisis: buff.ly/3VyfLA1
Media Release: Plane Used to Study Biodiversity in the Western Cape.
Scientists from South Africa and the United States have teamed up to study biodiversity in the Greater Cape Floristic Region using a unique combination of airborne science and field data.

A new biodiversity research project called BioSCape, of which NRF-SAEON is a leading partner, will be launched in the Western Cape on Tuesday, 17 October. The project will link data collected from satellites and airplanes with field observations: nrf.ac.za/new-biodiversity-r…
The ARSET biodiversity remote sensing course starts Monday! It will begin with interpreting imaging data from hyperspectral instruments like AVIRIS-NG and PRISM (aka the tech behind BioSCape). To register, visit: go.nasa.gov/3HJl5uV
It is still time to apply for postdoc and technician/data manager jobs with us @fzpczu in Prague! Biodiversity change, ecological modelling, macroecology, remote sensing: petrkeil.github.io/news/2022…
Also, we will open two fully funded PhD positions in 2023: petrkeil.github.io/news/2022…
Our new article on Integrating remote sensing with ecology and evolution to advance biodiversity conservation is now available
