Understanding how forests respond to a changing climate is one of the defining challenges of our time. Julia Rieder is at the forefront of this effort, combining field ecology with advanced remote sensing to uncover how trees cope with environmental stress. From Soil...

At EORC we started a Spotlight Series a few weeks ago and will continue in the next weeks and months. While we have long shared the work of our researchers at the Earth Observation Research Cluster (EORC)—from publications and innovative methods to conference...

Antonio Castaneda-Gomez is a PhD student at the Earth Observation Research Cluster whose work combines fieldwork, programming, and environmental science. His research focuses on using uncrewed aerial systems (UAS) and remote sensing technologies to better understand...

Luisa Pflumm, an alumna of the EAGLE MSc program, is now pursuing her PhD at our EORC, focusing on innovative applications of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) in ecological monitoring. Her current research uses UAS to map the effects of fire and drought on vegetation in...

Many research activities at the Earth Observation Research Cluster connect satellite data with real-world environmental challenges. One researcher who has been working at this interface since 2006 is Michael Thiel, whose work focuses on understanding how human...

At the intersection of ecology, machine learning, and Earth observation, Jakob Schwalb‑Willmann explores new ways of understanding our planet. As a researcher at the Earth Observation Research Cluster (EORC) at the University of Würzburg, his work bridges remote...
