FORGENIUS Public Webinars - EarthMap: climate and environmental monitoring

The FORGENIUS project will host the fifth edition of its Public Webinars on 12 December 2024, from 15:00 to 16:00 CET. This series aims to bring FORGENIUS topics and results to a wider audience.

Our feature speaker, Mr. Giulio Marchi, will present Earth Map, a powerful no-code tool that harnesses Google Earth Engine to simplify climate and environmental monitoring. This platform offers users a seamless point-and-click interface for multi-parameter, multi-scale, and multi-temporal analysis. Mr. Marchi will also explore Earth Map's customized applications, including Strata, a UNEP-FAO initiative for climate security analytics, and WHISP, an open-source solution for forest monitoring and deforestation compliance.

Dr. Marjana Westergren, a FORGENIUS project member, will present "Environmental, physiological, modelled and genetic indicators: characterising Genetic Conservation Unit (GCU) diversity, distinctiveness and vulnerability." Her presentation will highlight how these indicators were selected through a collaborative consultation process among FORGENIUS researchers from diverse disciplines. This effort ensured that the chosen indicators best describe forest genetic resources in terms of their genetic diversity, distinctiveness, and vulnerability.

Join us to discover how these innovative tools and approaches are bridging the gap between data abundance and actionable insights while advancing our understanding of GCUs, genetic diversity, and forest ecosystems.

We look forward to welcoming you to this webinar and exploring these transformative tools together!

FORGENIUS is an H2020 project, funded by the EU that will give an insight into the diversity of European forests and their resilience to climate change.
