Prof. Samuel Kounev delivered a Keynote on “Serverless Scientific Workflow Engineering for Interdisciplinary Research in Earth Observation and Computational Ecology” at the 21st IEEE International Conference on eScience. Chicago, September 15-18, 2025. The slides are available online (Password: eScience25).

The extreme conditions of polar and mountain regions foster uniquely adapted wildlife. We reviewed 145 SCI-journal publications between 2000 and 2024 and examine how Earth observation is used in wildlife ecology research in these regions.

This survey is conducted as part of the EO1 subproject. In this subproject we work on the detection of causalities between land surface dynamics and animal movement by using satellite-based earth observation data. Through this survey we want to gain better insight in the actual use of earth observation data and earth observation exploitation platforms when connected to wildlife ecology. Thank you for your support and do not hesitate to further share the survey with your contacts.

Our team member Nikolas Herbst was interviewed by the LRZ about the ROOT Project and the deployment on the terrabyte platform by DLR/LRZ. See the whole interview about the application of the terrabyte HPDA system to monitor the Bavarian forest on the LRZ News Page.

How can we automatically map glacier crevasses? Our new manuscript explores how Alpine crevasses can be mapped from high-resolution data.
