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.

Small Gesture, Big Thanks: Chocolate in the Polar Bear Kitchen

Pulling off a party for 250 people doesn't happen by magic. It happens because a bunch of people quietly say yes to the boring jobs, the carrying, the setting up, the standing around answering questions, the cleaning up afterward. Our combined 25th anniversary for...

From the lecture hall into the forest

A recent visit to the University Forest Sailershausen brought students together with Forest Management to discuss current challenges in forestry under a changing climate. Hosted by the head of the forest administration Daniel Kraus, the day combined presentations by...

Can We Teach Everything Except the Most Important Thing?

Over the past years, we have had many discussions within our research group and with colleagues at other universities about the changing culture in academia. These conversations often revolve around funding, publication pressure, career perspectives, or the increasing...
