Objective of the workshop

Climate change has resulted in several environmental challenges that threaten the well-being of humans and wildlife. Droughts are one of the most tangible impacts of climate change, as they affect water availability, food production, and ecosystem services, and can potentially trigger conflicts between stakeholders. One of the most tangible environmental impacts of climate change is observed in dying lakes (DLs). Recent progress in geoinformation as an interdisciplinary field of science has acknowledged it as an efficient approach to monitor and develop mitigating plans for minimizing the environmental impacts of climate change on DLs. The main objective of this workshop is to introduce an efficient, transferable, semi-automated framework for integrating hybrid data-driven methods and spatial decision techniques to monitor and mitigate the environmental impacts of climate change in DLs and food security.

What you will learn?

Within this workshop, students, researchers and stakeholders will receive tangible information regarding a data-driven approach for spatiotemporal land use/cover mapping (e.g. integrated DL-object-based image analysis), respective methodological frameworks, land degradation, soil salinity, aquifer sanitization mapping using GIS multiple approach, and finally their integrated impacts and contribution for food sustainable food production. Results of early projects for applying integrated approaches to indicated topics will be discussed during the workshop.
