GIS, or Geographic Information Systems, play a crucial role in nature conservation. Every day, mapping and spatial analysis are aiding conservation decisions, protected areas designation, habitat management on reserves and monitoring of wildlife populations, to name but a few examples. Want to learn more about how remote sensing is used in conservation? Check out the first two episodes of this season of Tech Tutors, where our Tutors answer the questions How do I use open source remote sensing data to monitor fishing? and How do I access and visualise open source remote sensing data in Google Earth Engine?
You can also check out our Virtual Meetup Archive for a range of panels that overlap with Remote Sensing & GIS topics.

Women in GIS
To celebrate the release of the second volume of Women and GIS, Esri Press, in partnership with Esri’s Women’s Enablement & Career Advancement Network (WeCan), is excited to host a webinar focused on celebrating and highlighting the amazing women featured in the book. The recording of this webinar is now available here.
During this webinar, participants will:
• Hear directly from several women featured in Women and GIS Volume 2 about their work
• Learn how women are using GIS to making a difference in government, education, sustainable development, and more
The amazing presenters in this webinar include: Dr. Susan Wolfinbarger, Rhiannan Price, Verónica Nelly Vélez, and Dr. Catherine Nakalembe
To learn more about the women featured in the webinar, and many other amazing women in GIS, check out "Women and GIS, Volume 2: Stars of Spatial Science". This book is available for purchase today at most online retailers. Grab a copy here.

Webinar/training series: Remote Sensing for Mangroves in Support of the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
This training focuses on mapping and monitoring mangroves and how it relates to UN sustainable development indicator 6.6.1: Change in the extent of water-related ecosystems over time. Indicator 6.6.1 is used in determining progress toward meeting Sustainable Development Goal 6, which is to “Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all.
Three parts, weekly beginning 5th November 2020 (there are two sessions per day to cover different time zones).

Estimating carbon from 3d models of mangroves

Hello Nandini. I did something similar mapping carbon stocks of subsurface peat reserves in upland habitats in the UK. It was pretty basic though. Modelled the 3D volume of peat from uav, field survey, geostatistical analysis and 3D modelling techniques. They simply calculated the carbon stock through the volume present.
