Lifewatch, the new European big data infrastructure for biodiversity research

Louvain-La-Neuve

The European Commission granted the legal status of European Research Infrastructure Consortium (ERIC) to the e-Science and Technology European Infrastructure for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Research (LifeWatch). The research group of geomatics from the Earth and Life Institute, in partnership with the laboratory on landscape and biodiversity, contributes to this ERIC by linking remote sensing data and ecological models in Europe. Maps of European ecosystem dynamics and of walloon landscape descriptors are already available.
