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.

Exploring the Power of Orfeo Toolbox

This week, our Eagle students have been soaring deeper into the world of spatial science with the Orfeo Toolbox (OTB) — a powerful open-source library for remote sensing image processing. Originally developed by the French Space Agency (CNES), OTB offers a rich suite...

Meet EORC at Upcoming Earth Observation Conferences & Workshops

The coming months offer many opportunities to connect with the Earth Observation (EO) community across a wide range of conferences, workshops, and focused scientific meetings. These events are not only places to present results, but also spaces for open exchange,...

A Strong Base at the Top: Research and Training at Schneefernerhaus

We are grateful for the long-standing and growing opportunity to work with the Schneefernerhaus research station on Zugspitze, Germany’s highest mountain. For our work at the EORC, this collaboration provides an exceptional foundation for research on snow, ice,...

Learning Earth Observation Data Acquisition in Real-World Conditions

As part of our course on Earth Observation data acquisition, EAGLE students experience first-hand that even the best planning is ultimately shaped by the weather. While flight plans, measurement strategies, and schedules can be carefully prepared in advance, field...

Snow Research at Schneefernerhaus, Zugspitze

Recently, our team carried out another successful field campaign at the Schneefernerhaus research station on the Zugspitze in the Alps. Together with our EAGLE students, we collected UAS-based environmental data alongside detailed in-situ measurements of snow...
