The aim of this PhD project is to develop a cloud based artificial neural 
network for processing large remotely sensed data sets in order to generate 
essential biodiversity variables (as defined by Pereira et al. (2013) and 
Skidmore et al. (2015)). The PhD candidate, in combination with supervisors 
and programming support, will develop innovative artificial intelligence 
techniques for estimating biodiversity variables using massive cloud based 
data sets of satellite remotely sensed, in situ and ancillary data. Potential 
candidate biodiversity variables to be retrieved from satellite remote sensing 
include pertinent indicators of ecosystem function, ecosystem structure and 
species traits. The research will result in a PhD thesis.
