Monitoring biodiversity by a new, hands-off approach
Sarab Sethi was on the BBC Radio 4 Today Programme. Sarab has developed a device that records soundscapes over long time-frames, with minimal human intervention. It’s being deployed in all different natural habitats to monitor the health of ecosystems using sound. By fixing a network of sound recorders across a landscape, researchers can monitor for…

Job opportunity: Research Associate in Data Fusion for Forest Monitoring and Modelling
Applications are invited for a Research Associate to join Dr Emily Lines’ UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship (FLF) project “Next generation forest dynamics modelling using remote sensing data”. This is an interdisciplinary project at the intersection of ecology, remote sensing, and data science, fusing ground and remote sensing datasets across scales. Candidates from purely data science…
Understanding terrestrial carbon cycles with climate change: integration of cutting-edge remote sensing with ecological theories and models
10-11am BST, Tuesday, April 12, Zoom Correct understanding and modeling of terrestrial carbon cycles is an essential first step for accurate prediction of large-scale climate variability and change, which impacts the lives and living quality of all organisms of our planet, including us human beings. However, considerable uncertainties remain, particularly associated with key model parameters…
The INTEGRAL Project
Carola-Bibiane Schönlieb, Debmita Bandyopadhyay, and David Coomes are part of the INTEGRAL (INdia remoTE imaGeRy AnaLysis) team. The INTEGRAL project is “an innovative collaboration between people collecting remote sensing data – such as satellite images of forests and video from traffic cameras – and researchers developing the technology to analyse those remotely gathered images to answer meaningful questions.”…
Earth Observation satellites as a critical tool to monitor climate change – A policy briefing from COP26 Universities Network
Earth observation satellites provide the most comprehensive real-time check on the health of the planet and are playing a crucial role in the fight against global heating now and even more so in the future, according to climate scientists. Although the UK is at the forefront of developing and harnessing technology to turn Earth Observation…
CEOS biomass protocol has been endorsed
David Coomes was involved in an international team that developed protocols for the production and validation of satellite-based woody aboveground biomass products. The report documents accepted good practices in an open and transparent manner, that is scientifically defensible. It represents the current state of knowledge for satellite biomass remote sensing and includes a summary of current…
