【Land Use Land Cover Dynamics of Oba Hills Forest Reserve, Nigeria, Employing Multispectral Imagery and GIS】 Full article: https://lnkd.in/g8PX8qTm (Authored by Joel A. Bukoye, et al., from University of Ibadan (Nigeria), etc.) Land use Land cover (#LULC) has undergone progressive changes worldwide over the years. This study evaluates the LULC changes in Oba Hills Forest Reserve between 1987 and 2019, using a multispectral remote sensing approach, taking into consideration the imperativeness of settlement and rural development in forest cover dynamics, amongst other anthropogenic factors. #Landsat #Change_Detection #Deforestation  

Green cools cities. Something that has been studied extensively in temperate climates. But what about the humid tropics? Cooling in dry and wet seasons? The moment of the day? Since 2019 we have been working with citizens and societal partners in Paramaribo to answer these questions. Now Lisa Best & Nina Schwarz and colleagues published our findings: 👉 Open Access https://lnkd.in/ez4v56nv This is an output of the Tropenbos Suriname and Faculty of Geo-Information Science and Earth Observation (ITC) of the University of Twente collaboration on the role of urban green spaces see: https://lnkd.in/ebfgSWDD #citizenscience #urbangreen #ecosystemservices #openaccess #scicomm #naturebasedsolutions #WUR ITC | Natural Resources Department (NRS) #Suriname PS do you spot the temperature sensor in this picture?

The 7th #AfriGEO2023 Symposium concluded on September 23rd in Swakopmund, Namibia. Co-hosted by the Ministry of Higher Education, Technology, and Innovation, and the National Commission on Research, Science, and Technology, its aim was to discuss the utilization of earth observation for Africa's prosperity!
