Geospatial Foundation Models for Habitat Monitoring Workshop #Cambridge
Learning the fundamentals of TESSERA for habitat mapping and next-generation ecosystem monitoring 🌍🛰️🤖
#TESSERA #HabitatMapping #Biodiversity #RemoteSensing #EarthObservation #Copernicus
In Cambridge 🇬🇧 to discuss the future of habitat monitoring with Geospatial Foundation Models 🛰️🌿
Bringing to the table our work from VegBioLab / IMIB / University of Oviedo-CSIC on biodiversity, remote sensing, Copernicus, Natura 2000 and ecosystem monitoring 🌍📡

How does a ground-dwelling bird choose where to display? Our study shows that visibility of the surrounding landscape (viewshed) is a key factor shaping display site selection. A spatially explicit view of animal behaviour

🛰️🌍 High-quality in-situ observations remain the backbone of robust habitat and ecosystem mapping.
The accuracy and ecological realism of maps in the era of Copernicus and big Earth Observation data starts on the ground

Using 🛰️ LiDAR + 🌍 viewshed modelling, we show that male Canarian houbara bustards choose display sites that maximize visibility, boosting mate detection and predator awareness 🦅avoiding disturbances 🚜🏘️

When research questions are too vague, conservation models start to disagree, uncertainty explodes 💥 and decisions get shaky.
👉 Be specific. Be explicit. 📊🌍 #SDMs #LessVagueMoreUseful

In complex landscapes, image correction is not enough: without high-quality in situ data, supervised classification of LULC and vegetation confuses topography with ecology. Good training data remains the cornerstone of reliable satellite-based mapping 🛰️🌲🌳📉
Do models really tell us where populations perform well, or just whether species occur?
We tested SDMs against demographic data (breeding success) using Great Bustard as a case study.
Results: occurrence ≠ fitness

In this study, we combined spatially explicit data from species occurrence & vital rates into a SDM framework to identify priority conservation areas and landscape structures supporting population maintenance at a large scale.

@bigbiodataaeet.bsky.social attends the #IALE Europa congress with Bruno Combal fron DG Environment et al presenting @eugrasslands.bsky.social. A quite related project for Protected Areas service from @eea.europa.eu. Very interesting week in front of us!
With preliminary results over 90% classification accuracy for Level1 LULC categories, the framework offers a transformative pathway for finer-scale LULC and EUNIS habitat mapping useful for many biodiversity and management applications
#Copernicus #Natura2000 #RS #S2 #UserUptake ##vegetation #CLMS
The integrated framework of @copernicusland.bsky.social Protected Areas #PAs product combines high-resolution LULC mapping with predictive modeling of EUNIS habitat types across EU Natura 2000 network. Mapping is applied across biogeographical regions, achieving unprecedented detail in predictions
🌍🌲📈 I attended the @eco-aeet.bsky.social event with a presentation of innovative methods and first results of the #CLMS Protected Areas #PAs product develop under a EEA framework contract including partners from IMIB (University of Oviedo-CSIC-Princ. of Asturias), COTESA, CLS, EVENFLOW and the EEA
@imibasturias.bsky.social
The BigBioData AEET @bigbiodataaeet.bsky.social working group hosted a Session about "New Technologies, New Discoveries: Big Data, Remote Sensing, and AI" in @sibecol-aeet-25.bsky.social
#Copernicus #Modelling #Natura2000 #RS #landcover ##vegetation #Copernicus #CLMS
We will learn about how ecologist are applying Big Data frameworks to generate ecological knowledge in different habitats and organisms
Dont miss it!
