Back from the 2025 ESA Living Planet Symposium: Three Key Trends for Earth Observation
Last week, Vienna became the center of the Earth Observation (EO) world during the ESA Living Planet Symposium 2025, and we at mundialis were proud to be there, contributing and learning alongside global EO leaders. Here are our top three takeaways from the event and how they connect to our daily mission: Copernicus is expanding, […]
GIM International presents: Our Contribution to Climate Adaptation in Cities
We are pleased that our work has been featured in a recent article by our colleague Markus Metz. The article highlights the growing importance of open-source tools for enhancing climate adaptation — with a focus on our GRASS GIS module r.sim.water. The article explains how climate change is intensifying extreme rainfall events, making cities increasingly vulnerable […]

New project completed: Using thermal data to reduce energy loss
In many cities, buildings are already supplied with heating energy via decentralized district heating networks. The expansion of district heating is considered a key component of a sustainable energy and heating transition and for achieving climate protection targets. Waste heat – for example from combined heat and power plants or waste incineration plants – is […]
