Aim
Participants will gain a thorough and comprehensive overview and understanding of the interface of Earth observation and movement data analyis. The course aims to build basic knowledge that enables participants to think independently and cirtically within the field covered by the course and allows them to creatively think of the potentials and possible analytical treasures that one might be able to lift by combining Earth observation and movement data in the near future.
Content
This course provides an overview of an scientific field that has been emerging around the interface of Earth observation and Movement Ecology or movement data analysis in general. The course covers the fundamentals of movement tracking in the context of Earth observation and takes a look at the recent history and bleeding edge developments in combining Earth observation and movement tracking. Furthermore, the course sheds light on potential analytical outcomes that could be achieved in the near future once the methodolgies from the clashing disciplines have been further melted to allow advanced mixed-data analyses.
