Yesterday evening, Welt, a German television news channel, was broadcasting a report called “Digital Globe – How Earth Observation changes our world“. Featuring animations created by our colleagues at DLR and ESA as well as several experts – including Stefan Dech (head of our Department) – the report shows how remote sensing helps gathering comprehensive information about our planet. The Copernicus program including Sentinel satellites is explained as well as techniques like RADAR, LiDAR and GPS. Learn about the applications of remote sensing here.

About The Author

Carina Kuebert-Flock

In school times I was courted by astronomy and geography. Geography won and Prof. Dech's Department of Remote Sensing at Würzburg University made a good case for it. Instead of looking to the skies, I decided to observe our Earth from them. My research interests include the potential of Earth observation data for phenological monitoring, the drivers of changes in vegetation development and bridging the gap between in situ and remotely sensed phenological parameters. I finished my PhD thesis on the assessment and analysis of land surface phenology and I love passing on what I've learned to our students.
