Tree Species Diversity Mapping through Proximal Sensing and Multi-view Convolutional Neural Networks
*Please note that this PhD will be hosted at University College London*. It is important to map and monitor tree species efficiently and accurately since they are critical for biodiversity mainly because they create habitats that support a vast type of organisms, from insects, trough birds, mammals, and fungi to plants.

Assessing the proximity of tipping points in Antarctica using numerical modelling and Earth Observation (ESA25/EE/GES/REESE)
This project will investigate the proximity of tipping points in Antarctica using numerical modelling and Earth Observation. Climate tipping points are critical thresholds that if crossed, can lead to rapid and irreversible changes in the climate system with dramatic consequences for societies worldwide. Read more
Building community climate resilience with large language models and remote sensing (Ref: SCI25-ND)
Communities are often highly motivated to contribute to solutions that enhance their resilience to the increasing effects of climate change. Read more
Water quality monitoring and forecasting through integration of geospatial and remotely sensed data
How can geospatial data from diverse sources, such as satellites, Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), and Uncrewed Surface Vehicles (USVs), be combined to effectively map, monitor, and predict pollution in freshwater and coastal ecosystems?. Read more
Marine and estuarine restoration: implications of restoration methods and drivers of success
Saltmarsh and seagrass ecosystems provide several essential ecosystem services, including shoreline protection from coastal erosion, nursery areas for many species of fish and invertebrates, fishery production, and carbon sequestration. Read more
Trunk to twig: high-resolution mapping of forest composition, architecture and carbon storage across the Amazonian basin
Tropical forests play a pivotal role in global climate regulation, as well as supporting vital ecosystems and rich biodiversity. Despite the importance of the Amazon, as the largest and most species-rich forest on Earth, vast remote regions of this territory remain severely under surveyed. Read more
