Coral reefs are vital ecosystems that provide ecological, economic, and cultural benefits—but they are under growing pressure from land-use change and marine tourism.

Training a geospatial AI model is like setting up a game—the rules you choose for sampling data determine who wins and who loses.

LINK TO RESEARCH PROJECTS

The MSc topics link to several ongoing larger research projects that allow being part of international research teams - both projects just started:

UN-Habitat estimates that over one billion people around the world live in slums, which are often located in hazard-prone areas.

Deep learning algorithms can achieve great accuracies, but there are also concerns about biases and generalizability to unseen data.

Humanitarian organizations such as the Red Cross Red Crecent and Unicef use risk models to identify vulnerable populations and mitigate the affects of natural disasters.
