On December 11, 2024, Ines Standfuß will defend her doctoral thesis entitled “Remote Sensing for Species-Environment Studies – Obtaining Meaningful and Robust Environmental Variables for White Stork Habitats” at the University of Würzburg.

The disputation will take place at 4 p.m. in seminar room 2 at the Earth Observation Research Cluster, John-Skilton-Str. 4a, Hubland Nord.

In her work, Ines Standfuß explored how remote sensing can be more effectively integrated into species-environment research to provide meaningful and robust environmental variables for animal habitats. By examining the needs of storks at different life stages, the thesis illustrates how established remote sensing data and methods can be used to design novel and meaningful environmental variables. It also presents a practical approach to accounting for uncertainties in remote sensing data in species-environment analyses.

We cordially invite you to join the public disputation of Ines Standfuß!
