Webinar with Abdulhakim Abdi, Lund University. In the face of a global biodiversity crisis, the ability to efficiently monitor ecological change across space and time has never been more accessible. Advances in satellite remote sensing and AI have opened new frontiers for biodiversity monitoring by offering powerful tools to analyze vast datasets, automate species detection, and improve disturbance tracking. While these technologies hold great promise, their widespread adoption faces key challenges, including data accessibility, environmental costs, model interpretability, and the need for stronger interdisciplinary collaboration. This presentation explores the opportunities and limitations of tech-driven nature conservation, assessing whether current developments are sufficient to bridge critical knowledge gaps. The integration of remote sensing with AI brings us closer to a more data-informed approach to managing the living world - but are we truly ready to harness its full potential?

The new Climate AI Nordics Featured Paper is "Deep learning-enhanced detection of road culverts in high-resolution digital elevation models: Improving stream network accuracy in Sweden" by William Lidberg. In this work, Lidberg combines LiDAR data and aerial imagery with deep learning to detect 87 % of all road culverts in Sweden. These culverts are in turn used to increase the accuracy of maps featuring small watercourses.
