Environmental Drivers of Vector-borne and Zoonotic Diseases: Leveraging Remote Sensing in Public Health Summary: Vector-borne and zoonotic diseases are responsible for one-sixth of disease and disability worldwide. Their distribution and spread is highly dependent on the environment. In the face of the environmental changes brought about by the Earth-system crisis, remote sensing has gained renewed…
Using Satellite Data for Species Distribution Modeling with GRASS GIS and R Registration opening soon! Summary: Species distribution models (SDM) have traditionally used climatic data as predictors of habitat suitability for the target species. In this hands-on studio, we will explore the use of satellite data to derive relevant predictors. We will perform satellite data…
