We are excited to share the progress of our recent collaboration with Prof. Martin Sander, focusing on the use of multi-sensor UAS data for paleontology research. This partnership aims to explore innovative approaches to mapping and analyzing fossil sites with high precision.
A significant milestone in our research group is the addition of a new PhD student, Lukas Block, who will conduct his PhD within this project. Lukas is supervised by Prof. Sander and Prof. Tobias Ullmann and is supported by Dr. Mirjana Bevanda, head of the UAS research team, along with team member Antonio Castaneda Gomez.
Our discussions with Prof. Sander emphasized the potential of integrating remote sensing techniques with traditional paleontological fieldwork. By leveraging aerial data from UAS platforms, we aim to enhance fossil site documentation, improve stratigraphic analyses, and refine excavation planning.
This collaboration marks a step forward in interdisciplinary research, combining geospatial technologies with paleontology. We look forward to sharing further developments as our work progresses.
