In the course of a cooperation with the Technical University of Munich (TUM), Dr. Julian Fäth from the EORC collected data of air temperature at ground-level in the University Forest Sailershausen. In the TUM’s research project, the microclimate on recently disturbed forest areas is to be investigated using earth observation and in-situ data with our university-owned forest as part of a sensor network in whole Germany.

In addition to supporting numerous research projects, the University Forest also facilitates excursions about forest research, such as a recent “Forest Walk” offered in the context of the German Forest Days.

For further information, check out the specifications of such a forest walk and the project description on the investigation of the microclimate on disturbed forest sites at the TUM:
