New eLTER Data Call on the eLTER Market Place: 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dj4vYTm2 Focused on key Standard Observation (SO) data types, this data call allows our eLTER PLUS beneficiaries to have the possibility to apply for funding to work on data preparation to contribute to the data mobilization task in the eLTER PLUS project (WP7, WP14). Final registration date: 18.11.2024 (i.e. expression of interest to mobilize data within the project period) Shortlist of SOs in the eLTER Data is: SOGEO_001 Soil inventory – geological characterization SOATM_027 Meteorology SOBIO_017 Vegetation composition SOBIO_096 Surface water – Algae SOHYD_004 Physical/chemical characteristics standing waters SOHYD_168 Soil water content and temperature Other Data will be accepted as well according to relevance for the project. What does eLTER Market Place offer and who is it for? Read in the interview with Dr. Nina Hobbhahn from eLTER Head Office:

This session calls for communications highlighting innovative UAV-based experiments using drones, in combination with satellites or without, to spatially and explicitly map and monitor the Critical Zone processes in diverse ecosystems across the planet. The main focus will be on materials / in situ survey requirements and data calibration / validation to design generic standardised protocols rather than on data (post-)processing. Two main deliverables are expected from this session: producing a special issue in an international journal and building a network of keynodes UAV platforms across Europe in line with the eLTER program. #eLTER2025SC #AbstractSubmission

This session seeks to highlight innovative approaches that integrate field data with advanced modelling techniques to deepen the understanding of complex hydrological, hydrogeological, and ecohydrological systems under the impact of global change. #eLTER2025SC #AbstractSubmission https://lnkd.in/dV4GjRAD

I am very happy to be invited as one of the keynote speakers to the eLTER science conference from 23-27 June 2025 in Tampere, Finland. The session on ‘Harnessing Data Science for Environmental Resilience’, convened by Hanna Koivula and Allan Souza, will show how collaborations between data science and environmental research are crucial to address challenges related to climate change and #biodiversity loss. https://lnkd.in/ensYfb4j I will probably talk about Essential Biodiversity Variables (EBVs) and how they can bridge ecological concepts, policy needs in the #EuropeanUnion, data science and digital innovation. This includes the development of: 🦊 large-scale digital sensor networks for measuring biodiversity 🌳 workflows for processing remote sensing data to map high-resolution habitat condition 🌍 research infrastructures for advanced analysis and modelling of digital twins of #ecosystems Catalyzing cross-disciplinary collaboration in producing #FAIR data is crucial to address climate change impacts and biodiversity loss. Please submit an abstract to this session if you can contribute with an interesting talk that shows how the gap between Big Data and biodiversity monitoring and policy can be bridged. The deadline for abstract submission is January 17, 2025. LTER-LIFE | MAMBO Project | #EuropaBON | #TABMON | University of Amsterdam | LifeWatch ERIC | GEO BON | #FAIRification | #NatureRestoration

In situ instrumental development has become a meeting point of specialists from various disciplines willing to promote smarter/more relevant environmental observation systems, advance our understanding of environmental processes, and ultimately improve sustainable management practices. The emergence of whole system approaches has brought new challenges: the need to detect highly dynamic interactions between human, living organisms and abiotic elements at relevant spatial and temporal resolution. These challenges translate into the need for new sensors, adapted to field conditions, built to operate in networks. #ScientificSession #eLTER2025SC #eLTERcommunity

Data science focuses on extracting meaningful insights from complex datasets, making it increasingly vital in environmental sciences due to the interconnectedness and cross-disciplinary nature of this field. While there is an abundance of data available online, it must be complemented by systematically collected, quality-assured and FAIR monitoring data that provide a structured framework for data collection and representation, enhancing the quality, reliability, and comparability of environmental data that are essential for monitoring environmental changes, or evaluating policy effectiveness. Furthermore, advancements in data science, including knowledge graphs, (semi-)automated mappings and workflows, statistical techniques, machine learning, and citizen science, enhance the ability to process and interpret vast datasets from diverse sources.

By bringing together experts in long-term ecological research from different countries in the Mediterranean region we will share case studies, identify effective strategies and innovative approaches to mitigate these threats, promote interdisciplinary collaboration and knowledge exchange among researchers, and discuss actionable recommendations for future conservation and restoration efforts in the region. Key topics will include habitat restoration techniques, biodiversity conservation, enhancing the provision of ecosystem services, and the role of community engagement in sustaining these ecosystems. #ScientificSession #eLTER2025SC #eLTERcommunity https://lnkd.in/dVBqHx8t
