On 9 December 2025, guest researcher Nathalie Neptune gave her second workshop at poltextLAB titled An Integrated Geospatial–Policy Analysis of Forest Loss in Hungary. She presented how satellite-based indicators of forest loss and vegetation stress can be integrated with legal and policy data to analyse forest management and wildfire control in Hungary. The workshop illustrated how changes in forest legislation, public spending, and policy discourse can be linked to observable environmental outcomes using advanced statistical methods. The presentation highlighted the importance of combining geospatial and legislative evidence to support data-driven forestry and fire management decisions.
