New Publication: Exploring the Potential of C-Band SAR in Contributing to Burn Severity Mapping in Tropical Savanna
I'm pleased to share my first publication to the Open Access Journal Remote Sensing together with Shaun Levick. From the abstract: "The ability to map burn severity and to understand how it varies as a function of time of year and return frequency is an important tool...
Scientific position on health monitoring using EO data
Research Topic: Earth observation for health monitoring - Emission sources from satellite data for an improved forecast of the pollen flight in Bavaria The aim of the PhD project is a valid and practicable pollen forecast for Bavaria, which is characterized by a high...
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
Department Bus
Our new department bus is now ready for excursions with our students, for field work in our study areas or for research visits at collaborating institutes. We are looking forward to use our Department EAGLE bus extensively in 2020!
Scientific position in Crop Monitoring
We are looking for a scientific employee with opportunity for doctorate (50%) starting in February within a interdisciplinary project on the use of remote sensing technologies for digitisation in crop production.
PhD thesis of Carina Kübert awarded by GGW
Carina Kübert was awarded with the Promotionspreis of the Geographical Society Würzburg (GGW). In her thesis, Carina worked on the derivation of phenological metrics from MODIS data in Germany. Her research focused on the reliable estimation of Start of Season (SOS)...
New PhD student Alexandra Bell
End of this year, Alexandra Bell joined the Department of Remote Sensing as one of our new PhD students and project members of the project WASCAL-DE-Coop. In the context of her PhD, Alexandra is interested in investigating the potential contribution of remote sensing...

DevLab 2020: EO Data Cube Workshop by Steven Hill
In our Department’s first DevLab workshop of 2020, Steven Hill will give an introduction into the Open Data Cube infrastructure of our Department and demonstrate the cube’s web and Python user interfaces.
Workshop Report at the Department of Remote Sensing – December 13, 2019
We are glad to announcing our last workshop reports at the Department of Remote Sensing in 2019. This time, we have the chance to listen to two presentations. The presenters Alexandra Bell and Jakob-Schwalb-Willmann (both Department of Remote Sensing, University of...
New paper on modelling the Arctic taiga-tundra ecotone
We tried to go one step further to quantify northern latitude vegetation trends. This paper on modelling the #arctic taiga-tundra ecotone using ALOS PALSAR and optical #earthobservation data was published two months ago. Find the paper...
In situ soil moisture campaign in a Mediterranean environment
Spatially explicit near-surface soil moisture (θ) patterns at high temporal resolution are essential in environmental modelling for improving risk assessment and for quantifying the effects of climatic seasonality and land use/land cover change on ecosystem services...
