Invited presentation at the MIND-Academy 2025

October 2, 2025

The MIND Academy is an annual event, which takes place on the first weekend in October – this year in Mannheim. Over the four to five days, lectures from a wide range of scientific fields are organized under a specific overarching theme (this year it is World|Time|Space) – see here: https://pretalx.mind-hochschul-netzwerk.de/ma2025/schedule/

 

Our professor Hannes Taubenböck was invited to give a lecture on our works at the Earth Observation Center (EOC) of the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and of our EORC here at the University Würzburg. His lecture was titled “Der Blick aus dem All – Forschung zu Prozessen globaler Urbanisierung [engl. The view from space – Research on processes of global urbanization]”.

 

Here is the abstract of the presentation:

The largest migration movement that mankind has ever experienced is in full swing. The population flow is moving from the countryside to the cities. Although mankind is in the information age, there are still major gaps in our knowledge of urban phenomena. With remote sensing data from space, different dynamics, dimensions and structures of physical transformation processes on our planet can be vividly documented. In combination with other data sets (e.g. from climate scenarios) in the sense of big data, the impact of urbanization processes can be determined and knowledge gaps reduced.
