We are delighted to welcome Josipa Subotić to the Earth Observation Research Cluster as a DBU fellowship visiting researcher. Since September 2025, she has been working on her project “Detection of Snow Surfaces in the Alps Using Multispectral Satellite Images and Machine Learning”, which explores snow cover dynamics, snow volume estimation, and the role of atmospheric gases in alpine snow processes.
Josipa’s academic journey began with a degree in Engineering Geology from the University of Zagreb, Croatia, where she discovered a passion for remote sensing technologies and their ability to reveal Earth’s changing surface. This curiosity led her toward the study of climate variability and the impacts of climate change on alpine environments.
As a DBU scholar, Josipa focuses on the Zugspitze region, aiming to improve the visual detection and temporal analysis of snow surfaces. By combining multispectral satellite imagery, drone-based observations, and advanced machine learning approaches, her research contributes to a deeper understanding of snow dynamics and their implications for water resources, natural hazards, and climate change research.
We look forward to supporting Josipa’s work and sharing her findings in the months ahead.
