EAGLE students introduce locust spatio-temporal modeling

Our EAGLE students Leonie, Sonja and Clara presented methods to model the spatial and temporal distribution of locust in France using statistical modelling approaches within R and the flexSDM package. The elaborated for two hours how the complex data preparation, intervening spatial and non-spatial data and how to run and validate different prediction models such as GAM, GLM, SVM or MaxEnt.
They introduced very nicely the relevance for locust prediction and the current challenges plus they explained the modelling approach in detail and outlined every single code snippet for the prediction analysis.

course on Theory and Practice of UAS Operation and Methods

Last week our staff members Antonio Gomez Castaneda and Luisa Pflumm did an UAS course within out EAGLE M.Sc. program. The primary objective of this course is to prepare students — from having no prior experience — to safely operate drones for scientific applications....
