In the December edition of the GEO BON newsletter, which highlights global efforts in biodiversity observation and monitoring, several publications authored by scientists involved in the EarthBridge project were featured.
Specifically, three research articles led by Vít Moudrý and others were mentioned, focusing on key challenges in biodiversity modelling and the accuracy of spatial environmental data:
- Optimising occurrence data in species distribution models – Ecography
- Comparison of three global canopy height maps and their applicability to biodiversity modeling – Ecosphere
- How to Find Accurate Terrain and Canopy Height GEDI Footprints – Earth and Space Science
These studies contribute to a better understanding of how spatial data can be optimized and applied in biodiversity models and align with EarthBridge’s mission to integrate remote sensing and ground-based data to assess biodiversity change and ecosystem services.
Although the EarthBridge project itself was not mentioned by name, we are proud that the work of our researchers is recognized internationally and contributes to GEO BON’s broader mission of fostering collaborative, transparent, and scientifically sound biodiversity monitoring.
