Effective and comprehensive biodiversity monitoring requires a broad range of methods and approaches. In the future, the most promising sources of new monitoring data will be in automated and semi-automated data collection and analysis methods that cover large spatial scales.

Participating department members: Jana Wäldchen, Negin Katal, Michael Rzanny

The Arctic Methane and Permafrost Challenge (AMPAC) is a transatlantic initiative by NASA and ESA. The project strives to address key questions related to the Arctic methane cycle in the context of climate change. Activities include synergistic assimilation of measurements, improvement of satellite retrievals with a clear focus on high latitudes, and promoting new dedicated satellite sensors as well as improving validation of existing and upcoming satellite missions. AMPAC-net is a networking activity bringing together experts in remote sensing (terrestrial and atmosphere), in situ measurements in permafrost environments and geospatial data dissemination in order to facilitate activities encompassing gap analyses, data collection, benchmarking and Bottom-up Top-down synthesis. more
