In this session, Dr. Kenji Ose will demonstrate nrt, which is a Python package designed for near real-time detection of changes in spatio-temporal datasets, with a particular focus on monitoring forest disturbances from satellite image time series. It offers a standardized API inspired by scikit-learn, ensuring seamless interoperability and comparison across various state-of-the-art monitoring algorithms. Optimized for rapid computation, nrt is suitable for operational deployment at scale. This package is an essential tool for researchers and practitioners aiming for timely and efficient monitoring, contributing to climate change mitigation, biodiversity conservation, and natural heritage preservation.

Please get ready to use Python to follow our hands-on exercise.
In this session, Dr. Reza Belaghi will demonstrate how generalized linear models can be used to analyze environmental factors of forest damage risks. We will learn about specifying generalized linear models including conditions and assumptions, selecting an appropriate linear model for a given problem, carrying out an analysis based on a generalized linear model in the statistical software R, interpreting and evaluating results correctly and drawing reasonable conclusions, and clearly and concisely communicating results and conclusions. Please get ready to use R to follow our hands-on exercise.
