Building Bridges between Earth Observation and Environmental Sciences

Project Overview

  • Building bridges between Earth observation and Environmental sciences
  • Building bridges between universities
  • Building bridges between Earth and Space

Earth Observation (EO) has created new opportunities for regularly obtaining standardised information useful for environmental research and nature conservation.

Within this context, EarthBridge aims to develop and further improve environmental EO tools that are robust, transferable, and applicable across disciplines and landscapes.

EarthBridge brings together EO and environmental sciences expertise to bridge the existing gaps between these two disciplines at educational, practical, and governmental levels.

Through the twinning of the Czech University of Life Sciences Prague (CZU) and two internationally-leading universities: Technische Universität Dresden (TUD), and Alma Mater Studiorum – Universitá di Bologna (UNIBO) and Universität Bonn (UBO), EarthBridge activities will ensure knowledge transfer and exchange by developing new methods and training new professionals in environmental EO.

About the project

EarthBridge – Building Bridges between Earth Observation and Environmental Sciences aims to develop and further improve environmental EO tools that are robust, transferable, and applicable across disciplines and landscapes. The project brings together EO and environmental sciences expertise to bridge the existing gaps between these two disciplines at educational, practical, and governmental levels.

EarthBridge is focused on the development and application of methods for monitoring, restoration, and conservation of biodiversity in agricultural landscapes.

Through the twinning of the Czech University of Life Sciences Prague (CZU) and two internationally-leading universities: Technische Universität Dresden (TUD) and Alma Mater Studiorum – Universitá di Bologna (UNIBO) and Universität Bonn (UBO)EarthBridge aims to further improve the use of environmental EO tools by a wider community.

EarthBridge is a three-year project starting in January 2023. EarthBridge activities, grouped into five work packages (WPs), will ensure knowledge transfer and exchange by developing new methods and training new professionals in environmental EO.

Background

Earth Observation (EO) has created new opportunities for regularly obtaining standardised information useful for environmental research and nature conservation.

The full use of EO for tackling current environmental challenges is still limited due to a lack of EO experts with environmental sciences background and general public awareness of the potential of EO to support environmental policies implementation.
