Dendra Systems’ Post

Exciting news from the Environment Agency – Abu Dhabi (EAD)! They’ve launched an AI-powered research programme, in partnership with Dendra Systems, to monitor and protect Abu Dhabi’s natural terrestrial habitats. This groundbreaking initiative covers over 11,000 hectares and uses smart sensors and drones to assess local vegetation health and its response to human activities and climate change. By combining cutting-edge technology with environmental expertise, EAD is setting new standards in habitat conservation, aligning with the UAE’s ambitious climate goals. 🌿 Read more about this innovative programme in the full article. #sustainability #environment #climateaction #biodiversity #UAE

🌐 #UDADigest Maritime Research Center's (MRC) UDA Digest platform just released a new Issue Brief by Dr. (Cdr) Arnab Das! This thought-provoking piece explores the critical role of Underwater Domain Awareness (UDA) in achieving Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) goals. Dr Das argues that traditional methods fall short when considering the vast underwater domain. Key takeaway: UDA is essential for effective ESG implementation in the ocean, encompassing over 95% of Earth's potential challenges and opportunities. The Issue Brief also delves into: 🌐 How can Marine Spatial Planning (MSP) enhance transparency and trust in UDA practices? 🌐 There is a need for robust UDA tools specifically designed for the underwater environment. 📢 Ready to dive deeper? Read the full Issue Brief here: https://bit.ly/3xkFUu7 Let's discuss the importance of UDA for a sustainable maritime future in the comments!

This week on #SSETS, I discuss the UN SDGs focus in my area of expertise as #MySDGfocusWithSSETS. Out of the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), the top four that my area of expertise aligns with are SDG 6, SDG 9, SDG 13 and SDG 15. #Goal 6: Clean Water and Sanitation As an expert in surveying and geoinformatics, I can identify places where water is being wasted and inefficiently used. This information can then be used to guide water conservation initiatives and aid in the building of sanitary facilities. Geomatics can assist in monitoring and forecasting the effects of climate change on water resources, facilitating adaptation and resilience methods. This helps to guarantee universal access to clean water and sanitation and encourages sustainable water management practices. #Goal 9: Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure My area of expertise aligns with this SDG by supporting infrastructure development (in the construction industry), transportation management, and urban planning through accurate spatial data, mapping, and monitoring. These inputs inform sustainable urban development, driving innovation and economic growth. #Goal 13: Climate Action As a geospatial scientist and environmentalist, I provide critical spatial data and analytics to monitor and mitigate climate change impacts. #Goal 15: Life on Land My research area includes land surveying. Therefore, I am involved in collecting and analysing spatial data to track deforestation, land degradation, and biodiversity loss. I recommend conservation efforts and the promotion of eco-friendly land use practices that preserve ecosystem services and biodiversity. In the course of #SSETS Pilot Intervention, I have had the privilege of connecting with Prof. Ojigi Mustapha Lazarus and Prof. Adewuyi Taiye, who are experts and luminaries in my field. Furthermore, eHealth Africa, Esri, FIG - International Federation of Surveyors are respectively an NGO, an industry partner, and a professional body that aligns with my top 4 UN SDGs. For all I have received in #SSETS thus far, special thanks to the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, British Council, National Universities Commission (NUC), Lancaster University, Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, Dr. Akanimo Odon, Dr Viola Akhigbe and all other coaches working day and night, for us to succeed as #EntrepreneurialAcademics. #SSETS #MySDGfocusWithSSETS #EbenezerAkomolafe #EvolvingWithSSETS

MsP Data Tools and Guidance Workshop Technical Expert Group (TEG) on Data for MSP Taller de orientación y herramientas de datos de MSP Grupo de expertos técnicos (TEG) sobre datos para MSP The Technical Expert Group (TEG) on data for MSP was established in April 2020 by the Directorate-General for Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (DG MARE) and the European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency (CINEA). The TEG was established to deal with the current state of play of MSP data management, resolve ongoing issues (such as harmonisation of MSP “output” data) and exchange knowledge and experience between practitioners and experts on MSP.

🌳Forests provide us with clean air, water, food, medicine, and more. Forest ecosystems are key for combating climate change and contribute to the prosperity and well-being of people everywhere. Yet, despite all these priceless ecological, economic, social and health benefits, forests are endangered by fires, pests, droughts, and unprecedented deforestation. This #InternationalDayofForests’ theme is Forests and Innovation: New solutions for a better world. We put focus on innovative ways and new solutions to protect, manage, and restore our forests. In this context, Natural Heritage is excited to announce the launch of our thematic project StrategyMedFor. The project, led by University of Malaga, works on the integration of new technologies & wide-Mediterranean data into a spatial context, combining geospatial data, remote sensing, GIS & climate modelling in the development of a Strategy for Sustainable Management of Mediterranean Forests (SSMMF). Stay tuned for updates on StrategyMedFor! #InternationalDayofForests #ForestsandInnovation #sustainableforestmanagement #forestconservation #NaturalHeritage #governance4nature Interreg Euro-MED Programme Foto credit: fao.org

The #100KTREEs Consortium in Prague at EUSPA - EU Agency for the Space Programme for the midterm review meeting in the presence of the Project Officer Chiara Solimini and the two external reviewers. We live in an era where climate change mitigation and adaptation represent a daily challenge that requires urgent measures. Day after day we realize the importance of a tool like #100KTREEs supporting #decisionmakers and #planners in designing #green in #cities and in assessing the value of #ecosystemservices that #trees offer. We return from the Prague meeting more motivated than ever and with important ideas to continue in the second part of the project and to achieve the expected results. www.100ktrees.eu EUSPA - EU Agency for the Space Programme DHI, BitaGreen, EcoTree France, GISIG Geographical Information Systems International Group, EUROSENSE, @CWare, UrbanDigital.dk, @NDConsult, @OTF, @SDA
