Over the weekend, EORC PI Florian Betz met with Martina Cecchetto and Riccardo Fumigalli from the University of Padua to conduct ambient sound recordings and collect photographs of the Lech River, one of the major tributaries of the upper Danube. The photographs and sound recordings will go into a project at the interface of arts and science where we will bring together satellite time lapse videos of the different sections of the Lech with music which will specifically be composed for illustrating the various behavior of the river along its course from the Austrian mountains to the Danube. The EORC will contribute with time lapse videos of super resolution Sentinel-2 imagery computed with a python package developed for satellite time series extraction by EORC PhD student Baturalp Arisoy. This project demonstrates, how earth observation can not only be used to derive scientific understanding of earth surface dynamics, but can serve also as a means of communication about our fascinating planet Earth.
