Heute ist Welt-#Regenwaldtag! Eine Besonderheit der Senken des Amazonastieflands ist, dass dort besonders häufig Nebel auftritt, der das Überleben von Arten, die mit dem #Klimawandel ansonsten schlecht zurechtkommen würden, gewährleistet. tinyurl.com/47mue8hp

A field campaign was conducted in Marburg Open Forest for the #LOEWE project Tree-M this week. Oak tree leaves scanning was finished by using #hyperspectral cameras with a band scale ranges from 470 to 1690nm.

In Erinnerung an Prof. Dr. Wilhelm Lauer (1923-2007), Bonner Geograph und Klimatologe, finden jährlich am Geogr. Institut der Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn die 'Lauer-Lectures' statt. Zu seinem 100. Geburtstag stand dieses Jahr das Thema 'Klima- und Hochgebirgsforschung im Wandel' im Mittelpunkt.

Prof. Dr. Bendix has been recognised by #NCI with an award for his outstanding dedication to environmental defence and conservation, valuable contributions to #climatechange research in #Ecuador and collaboration in the Ecuadorian-German partnership.

Award to Prof. Dr. Bendix for invaluable contributions to the advancment of the Dep. Water Res. and Environ. Sci. (iDRHICA) University of Cuenca.

Michaela and Paulina are currently attending #EGU2024 to present their work on modelling climate properties for South Ecuador and fog nowcasting with machine learning through posters and talks, and to meet fellow researchers.

Sheetabh presented his poster at the #EGU2024 on the topic of long-term ground #fog time-series spanning two #meteosat generations.

Today we welcomed Professor Mario Cordova and his Master's students in Hydrology/Ecohydrology iDRHICA from the University of Cuenca UCuenca in Ecuador to our group. This visit was part of the DAAD News programme 'Study Visits for Groups of Foreign Students to Germany'.

#Climate change🌪️☀️has been recognised by the World Health Organization (WHO) as the greatest threat to #human health 🆕LOEWE-HABITAT is researching a forecasting system for predicting risks + 🩺🫀diseases depending on environmental and #weather events⛈️➡️More about this at proloewe.de/en/research-in… Philipps-Universität

We are excited to share our first crop-type maps for Siaya, #Kenya, at dlr's touch table during the World Space Forum in Bonn. The Map is based on #EnMAP imagery & data from Kenyan smallholder farmers, collected by Team AgriBora. Expanding to western Kenya soon!

Congratulations to our colleague Christine Kolbe on the successful defence of her #PhD thesis on "Measuring Precipitation from Space - a Satellite View on the Tibetan Plateau".

Congratulations to Michaela for successfully defending her #PhD thesis on "Forecasting radiation fog by combining station and satellite data using Machine Learning"

Last week we were finally able to lift and install our new HUND BAA500e automatic #pollenmonitor at the #Lahnberge. We are looking forward to the first data for the #LOEWE HABITAT project.

Last week, MW3 project participants met at LCRS in Marburg. They visited the new #sapflow #sensorboxes in the Marburg Open Forest & discussed first results of the monitoring system analyzing #treegrowth responses to #climateextremes. More info: mw3-project.com #MOF

🎓 Congratulations to Marius on successfully defending his PhD thesis: “South American Tropical Lowland Cloud Forest (TLCF) under Climate Extremes: Fog Dynamics, Refugial Areas and Microclimate Modelling.”

Nizom is presenting his poster on the topic of "Mapping Forest Canopy Nitrogen Content From #EnMAP Imaging Spectroscopy by Coupled Leaf-Canopy Radiative Transfer Models and Gaussian Process Regression" at the #LPS25 in Vienna. #Hyperspectral #RemoteSensing #ForestEcology

Nizom Farmonov has published in Science of Remote Sensing presenting a hybrid model to map forest traits from EnMAP data with limited field samples using GPR & Active Learning, improving trait retrieval accuracy. doi.org/10.1016/j.srs.…  #RemoteSensing #ML #EnMAP #ActiveLearning
