Stream Network Delineation: Beyond the Vertical Accuracy of global DEMs
Authors: Vítězslav Moudrý, Jana Marešová, Petr Bašta I am sure you are aware of my passion for Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) and their validation. It’s been a few years since we validated the then brand-new TanDEM-X DEM (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rse.2020.111724), and since then, the number of available global DEMs has grown rapidly, just to name a few:…

Can We Trust Predicted Global Canopy Height Maps?
Author: Vitezslav Moudry Global mapping of forest height is an extremely important task. However, measuring it at a detailed scale is challenging and has increasingly been supplemented by predictions based on various remote sensing data. Several global and continental canopy height maps have been released in recent years. Since I am naturally skeptical of predictions,…

How to optimize input data for Species Distribution Models
Author: Vitezslav Moudry Published: January 11, 2025 From the very beginning of my doctoral studies, I have been obsessed with the quality and usability of spatial data. I have particularly focused on the importance of input data for correlative species distribution models (SDMs). SDMs are useful for tackling the gaps in our knowledge of species…
