SPACED: Using Earth Observations to Protect Natural Landscapes
2019-06-24
The informative photo exhibition “SPACED” is an initiative of the ECOPOTENTIAL project, which receives funding from the Horizon 2020 programme of the European Union. Here at University of Bayreuth, Prof. Dr. Carl Beierkuhnlein from the Department of Biogeography at BayCEER essentially contributed to the coordination of ECOPOTENTIAL. Everybody interested is kindly invited to the Exhibition Opening on Sunday, June 30th, 14:00!
Using satellite data, among others, the research project analyses the impacts of climate change, pollution and other human influences on natural ecosystems. Focussing on important protected areas, which represent the focus of ECOPOTENTIAL activities, stunning satellite images demonstrate how the latest Earth Observation systems can monitor those changes in the environment. The exhibition explains how project partners from science, conservation praxis and the private sector collaborate in order to better understand and protect natural ecosystems.
Since its launch in the European Parliament in Brussels, the exhibition has travelled through Europe and will now be presented for the first time in Germany. From the 30th of June it can be visited in the greenhouses of the Ecological-Botanical Garden at University of Bayreuth.
Opening hours of the greenhouses:
Monday to Friday, 10:00 - 15:00
Sundays and public holidays, 10:00 - 16:00
