The first flyable days of the new year were used to train our new staff members Elio Rauth and Baturalp Arisoy in UAS data collection. We are happy that both will join the EORC UAS team. Dr. Mirjana Bevanda explained them the different systems and payloads, from small UAS systems up to large M600 or VTOL systems. Also the different payloads, multi-spectral, thermal and Lidar, were introduced, including their specific properties. However, the actual flight mission planning and sensor geometry settings were the focus of this day, in order to take advantage of the good weather. Our new pilots started with small Mavic multi-spectral and thermal systems and will progress in the next weeks and months to the larger systems to cover 700ha and more. Actual experiences are critical within UAS data collection, hence Elio and Baturalp will assist in actual field data collections and analysis of on-going projects from Antonio, Jakob and Mirjana to be able to take over the responsibility to fly within their own study sites soon.

When you think of a research internship in remote sensing, your mind probably jumps to lab screens, stacks of satellite imagery, and a lot of coffee. What you probably don't picture is standing in the middle of Kruger National Park, watching elephants move through the...
A while ago, we shared a lighthearted post about our EORC Earth observation characters. What stayed with us afterward were the reactions from colleagues around the world. Quite a few professors commented, half joking and half serious, that sometimes they wish they...
Our Department Head Prof. Hannes Taubenböck was honored to welcome Prof. Alejandra Stehr from the Universidad de Concepción and Prof. Rodrigo Cienfuegos from the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile at the Earth Observation Center (EOC) of the German Aerospace...
We are pleased to congratulate Julia Rieder on the successful defense of her PhD thesis! Over the past years, Julia has investigated how European beech forests respond to severe drought events and which factors determine whether individual trees survive or die under...
The University of Würzburg's press team recently featured the exhibition "Living with Science: Stories from Mwanza & Würzburg", an intercultural science communication project co-organized by our EORC colleague Dr. Sarah Schönbrodt-Stitt and Dr. Michael Thiel. The...
