Incredible sight!

Thrilled to share our new article in @pnas.org highlighting global gaps in where we study animal movement—and outlining the next generation of smart bio-loggers.

Swing by my poster today at the #LPS25!

Excited to share some of our work at the UAS Team, @earth-observation.org ! We’ve been exploring the comparability between UAV-based datasets and Sentinel-2.

@schwalb-willmann.de @bevanda.bsky.social

Are you working with LiDAR or inventory data? Visit me at poster H07 at #LPS25 to find out more about our R package, TreeCompR, which provides solutions for quantifying tree competition!

great group picture of our EORC staff and EAGLEs at ESA #LPS25 - a fantastic week with plenty of interesting discussions, talks and posters! #earthobs #eochat #remotesensing

Happy about all the interest shown in RStoolbox at #LPS25! Had the chance to discuss the role of R in EO, how R+Python integrate, and what drives programming language preference (e.g. when research communities implement their methods predominantly in one language, creating unique package ecosystems)

The RStoolbox poster at the ESA LPS25.

RStoolbox, an R package for remote sensing data analysis, is being presented at ESA #LPS25 today by @caipide.bsky.social and myself.

Come to poster P32 to chat about spatial predictive modelling, spectral unmixing, change vector analysis, radiometric correction, cloud masking etc. using R! #rstats

Glad that there has been so much interest in our DL approach on detecting animal paths in UAV RGB data! Thanks to all who made this study possible, incl. Leonie Sonntag, @bevanda.bsky.social, @antoniocastaneda.bsky.social, Martin Wegmann, Ben Wigley, Corli Coetsee, Doris Klein & Stefan Dech #LPS25

Catch me & @annabischof.bsky.social at tonight’s #LPS25 poster session in Vienna! We're presenting our work with Nature Seychelles & @earth-observation.org on RGB drones for mangrove monitoring. Marlene Bauer can't join, but her input was key. Excited to connect! #UAV #Ecology #RemoteSensing

Having a blast at ESA's #LPS25 with @schwalb-willmann.de and a nice poster about animal paths 🐘 Swing by!

Planning a hyperspectral drone mission in steep terrain, I ran into the usual issue: flying too close to the slope due to poor AGL handling. I built SMARTAGL, an R tool that creates terrain-aware flight lines with constant AGL. Open-source & field-tested. (github.com/ajcastanedag...)

AnySat has been accepted as a ✨ highlight at #CVPR2025! See you in Nashville 🎉

We’ll also be presenting this work at:
📍 @egu.eu on 02/04 in Vienna
📍 @esa.int / NASA Workshop on Foundation Models on 05/04 in Rome

⚠️ Nearly 40 billion (39,820,373,479) new embeddings of Major TOM Copernicus data now released!

A crowd of people celebrating.

Glad that many of my colleagues, friends and family came to Würzburg to celebrate the occasion. I'm very thankful for their long-standing support!

Grateful that I could work on using animals for Earth observation at @uni-wuerzburg.de, in cooperation with @dlr-de.bsky.social & @mpi-animalbehav.bsky.social. Many thanks to my supervisors & mentors Stefan Dech, Martin Wikelski, Tobias Ullmann & Martin Wegmann & everyone @eor-wuerzburg.bsky.social!

Just looking through images from our #CitizenScience project I realized that we have #PlasticCusts, even on Svalbard, in the #Arctic! This one was found by Birgit Lutz at Isflabukta beach in 2016. #Plastic

Our #earthobservation staff @schwalb-willmann.de and @bevanda.bsky.social did #uas #remotesensing courses for #Arctic applications on Svalbard and covered different #uas systems with #lidar multispectral and thermal sensors plus ##rspatial and #qgis data analysis #gischat @uniwuerzburg.bsky.social
