🙌 Be sure to check out the latest @biodiversa.eu webinar on remote sensing, where Maria J. Santos takes us through the #RemoteSensing timeline, but also how the RS approach is being employed for the development of #EBVs in the context of OBSGESSION. 🛰️ 🌍
🛰️How can novel technologies improve biodiversity #monitoring?
In our last webinar, we explored the evolution of remote sensing for biodiversity & shared early results from the Biodiversa+ Habitat pilot, comparing remote-sensing techniques across Europe.
