🚨 New Open Access Paper in Remote Sensing of Environment 🚨 This is the second use of the ICE CREAMS model (🍨see previous post) to map Intertidal Seagrass variation with Sentinel-2 🛰️ Here we assessed inter-annual trends rather than intra-annual ones! doi.org/10.1016/j.rse.…

We cannot tackle the #ClimateCrisis without investing in nature. We very much welcome Ruth Davis as the UK’s first Special Representative for Nature - her extensive knowledge will be vital to help us deliver on our commitments to put #nature on the road to recovery.
