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.

From Alternative Crops to Drone Monitoring: Field Day on Drought-Resistant Agriculture

The drought of 2026 has once again highlighted the challenges that increasingly frequent dry periods and heat waves pose to agriculture. Against this background, the Bavarian State Research Center for Agriculture (LfL) organized a field day in Schwarzenau on 10...

New publication on mapping mountain pine dynamics and upslope shifts in the German Alps

Mapping mountain pine remains a challenge, particularly in steep Alpine terrain where Pinus mugo forms dense krummholz thickets that are difficult to separate from surrounding vegetation and hard to survey on the ground. In our new study led by Basil Tufail, we...

EORC at InterGeo 2026

We will be actively participating at InterGeo this September: we've got a small booth right next to Wingtra's exhibition space, over in Hall B6, booth B6E045. Come by and have a look on what we've been working on across the EORC especially focused on our UAS earth...

Save the Date: EORC Talk with Stephan J. Schmidt on “Urban Form and the Heat Island Effect”

Save the date for our next EORC Talk! On 6 October 2026, we will welcome Stephan J. Schmidt from Cornell University to the Earth Observation Research Cluster (EORC) in Würzburg. In his talk “Urban Form and the Heat Island Effect”, he will explore how the shape and...

Research and Workshop in the Alps

Last week a group of PhD and EAGLE MSc students visited the Umweltforschungsstation Schneefernerhaus (UFS) at the Zugspitze for a workshop on research in high alpine ecosystems. The workshop was kicked-off by presentations from some of our students, who are conducting...

New publication on how canopy gap dynamics affect drought-induced defoliation in European beech

Our EORC staff member Dr. Julia Rieder has published a new study in Forestry: An International Journal of Forest Research, together with colleagues from TU Dresden, the University of Göttingen, HSWT Weihenstephan, and the University of Würzburg. This study, based on...
