EAGLEs at DLR DFD LAX

December 8, 2023

As part of the lecture by Claudia Künzer all EAGLEs of her course also visit the Earth Observation Center of DLR in Oberfpaffenhofen and listen to various talks by remote sensing scientists working in Oberpfaffenhofen:
  • Patrick Sogno, an EAGLE alumni and also PhD student in Würzburg presented “Earth Observation for Exposome Mapping – The Potential of Remote Sensing for Geohealth Analysis”.
  • One of our recent PhD graduates and also lecturers within the EAGLE M.Sc., Dr Celia Baumhoer, introduced the students to “Remote sensing of snow and ice”.
  • Dr. Jonas Meier presented “Small Fields, Big Impact: The Role of Earth Observation in the Sustainable Intensification of Smallholder Farms in West Africa. Insights from Current Research Projects”.
  • And two employees of the University of Würzburg, but based in Oberpaffenhofen presented their ongoing research:
    • Niklas Jaggy presented  “Remote Sensing of forests – assessing disturbances, forest structure and biodiversity”
    • and our Postdoc Dr. Sophie Reinermann introduced to “Remote sensing of grasslands”.
Our EAGLEs enjoyed the very interesting day and especially the opportunity to talk to DLR scientists over a coffee. Our students will spend the weekend also together in the Alps and enjoy the time together – hopefully with a lot of snow.

Lidar has a funny way of sneaking up on you. You think you know what it is, a laser that measures distance, fine, but then someone shows you a point cloud of a forest canopy with individual branches floating in 3D space and suddenly you realize there's a whole...

Ticks from Above: UAS Fieldwork for the MONID Habitrack Project

Forest edges are tricky places. They're where woodland meets open ground, where light and shade trade off every few meters, and where, it turns out, ticks tend to do really well. That last bit is exactly why Dr. Ariane Droin, Sofica Garcia de Leon, Dr. Jakob...

Course on urban EO by Michael Wurm

Course on urban EO by Michael Wurm

Walk through any city and you pick up on things that are hard to put a number on. The noise of a main road, the heat that sits between buildings in summer, the question of whether that little park around the corner is really enough green space for the whole...

EireR R package: unified gateway to Irish geospatial data

Anyone who's tried to do geospatial work across the whole island of Ireland knows the headache. Ireland is one island geographically, but it's split across two jurisdictions, the Republic and Northern Ireland, and each one runs its own data infrastructure. Different...

Impact of agrophotovoltaic facilities – an R package

There's a new R package on the block, and it's solving a problem that sounds simple until you actually try to do it: how do you tell whether putting solar panels over a farm field is good or bad for the soil and the crops around them? Marlene, one of our EAGLE...
