Empowering Students with SAGA GIS for Environmental Applications

Empowering Students with SAGA GIS for Environmental Applications

m

January 16, 2025

At EAGLE Earth Observation, we are committed to equipping our students with the tools and knowledge needed to excel in the field of environmental science. As part of this effort, our students are exploring the power of various scientific open-source software packages tailored for specific environmental applications, such as hydrology modeling using SAGA GIS.

SAGA GIS (System for Automated Geoscientific Analyses) is a robust open-source Geographic Information System designed for spatial analysis and modeling. Known for its versatility and user-friendly interface, SAGA GIS is widely used in environmental research, enabling users to process and analyze geodata with a focus on tasks like terrain analysis, hydrology, and climate data processing.

It’s inspiring to see the growing expertise of our students, supported by diverse software tools, programming languages, and methodologies that prepare them for a successful scientific future. This training is guided by Dr. Martin Wegmann and Ariane Droin, as part of the international M.Sc. program EAGLE.

Together, we’re fostering a generation of scientists ready to tackle environmental challenges with confidence and innovation.
