Hackathon puts Biodiversity on the Map

How can we use big data smartly to restore biodiversity? Five teams of experts, engineers, students and researchers pondered this question for 48 hours in the form of a Spatial Data for Biodiversity Hackathon held on 23-24 October 2023 at Ede, the Netherlands. The cooperation between Deltares, Eurisy, the Netherlands Space Office, Starthub and Wageningen University and Research allowed the teams to dive into the data for two uninterrupted days. The detective work not only yielded new insights about biodiversity in the Netherlands, but also demonstrated what role satellite imagery can play in this field.
