On 5 June 2025, representatives from the Bavarian State Ministry of the Environment and Consumer Protection (StMUV), the Bavarian Environment Agency (LfU), and the German Aerospace Center (DLR) met at DLR Oberpfaffenhofen as part of the EO4CAM (Earth Observation Laboratory for Climate Adaption and Mitigation) project.
The focus was on flood hazards and how Earth Observation can support authorities before, during, and after disasters. The May/June 2024 flood in southern Germany—especially Bavaria—is being systematically reconstructed from a remote sensing perspective to evaluate current capabilities and identify opportunities for future improvement. We thank all participants for the valuable exchange and look forward to continued collaboration.
