Climate Change as Driver of Biodiversity & Ecosystem Change: Novel Uses of Satellite Remote Sensing

Full title: Climate Change as a Driver of Biodiversity and Ecosystem Change - Novel Uses of Satellite Remote Sensing | GEO BON Global Conference - October 11, 2023
Satellite observations play an important role in biodiversity and ecosystem monitoring, complementing other observations to characterise changes and their drivers. The impact of climate change on biodiversity, the capacity of species to adapt, the resilience of ecosystems, thresholds to irreversible changes, and the contribution of ecosystems to climate feedbacks - e.g., via impacts on carbon cycling - are urgent, policy-relevant research topics to which satellite observations can contribute. In the context of the definitions of the Essential Climate Variables and Essential Biodiversity Variables, this session invites novel demonstrations of satellite-derived products for R&D feasibility and contribution to understanding these interactions and impacts.
