Guest research stays at IAMO in the frame of GEO-WB6

From October 6 th to 31 th , 2025, IAMO welcomed the second cohort of guest researchers in Halle(Saale). Mrs. Tatjana Nikolić (University of Montenegro) worked on the topic „Impact of water-related variables on wildfire danger indices in Montenegro“ by analyzing weather station data and wildfire records from satellite images to create maps of fire risk for the entire country. Mr. Zlatko Chanevski (Ss. Cyril and Methodius University in Skopje) analyzed a 20-year time series of municipality-level crop-statistics from North Macedonia in combination with the newly available high resolution crop type maps of Copernicus and published an interactive dashboard and story map in his project „Agriculture in Motion: Crop Statistics of North Macedonia“. Mr. Branislav Trudić (University of Belgrade) worked on the project „Mapping Genetic Landscape of Serbian Oaks“ to identify priority areas for future sampling of oak populations and improve the monitoring of forest genetic resources. We thank all researchers for their valuable contributions and look forward to a continued collaboration in the frame of GEO-WB6!
