December 20, 2017

Our 2017 EAGLEs spend a great day at DLR-EOC close to Munich and learnt a lot about applied remote sensing. Beside talks about a variety of topics did the EAGLE students also have the chance to discuss in small groups with DLR scientists their research or recommendations on needed skills.

Claudia Künzer welcomed all EAGLEs and various members of her department gave insights into their current research topics such as Soner Üreyen on tracing change processes, Emmanuel Da Ponte Canova on analysing sustainable land use in Paraguay or SAR applications by Anna Wendleder. Additionally coastal research and imaging spectroscopy were covered by Christina Eisfelder and Uta Heiden.
