The Ever Changing Google: Gaining a Maximum Attention for Your SERP ListingsSemrush
Because Google has already launched a huge number of updates that have dramatically altered SERPs, Alexandra and Bastian are giving you a detailed overview of how these updates have affected SEO and what you need to do to gain a maximum attention. During the session, Alexandra will share insights about the presence of knowledge graphs, answer boxes and other elements of search engine results for Google.de. Bastian is going to talk about the technical side of things: what type of markup you need for a proper schema-implementation, as well as which tools will help you verify and debug your code. And how to generally speed up implementation and creation of semantically valid schema-tags.

Using drone data in modelling:A case study applying the BCCVLARDC
1. The document discusses using drone data for species distribution modelling, with a case study presented using the Biodiversity & Climate Change Virtual Laboratory (BCCVL).
2. It describes how drones can provide high resolution spatial data through images, but species data and environmental variables still need to be extracted from the images through digital image processing and analysis.
3. The presentation then demonstrates how to run a species distribution model within the BCCVL platform using species occurrence data and environmental layers to model suitable habitat for a species.
