WELCOME DAAD GUEST SCIENTIST GLORIOSE ALLAKONON

July 12, 2022

A warm welcome to DAAD sponsored guest researcher Gloriose Allakonon from Benin! Gloriose is a visiting research scientist from the Laboratory of Hydraulics and Environmental Modeling (www.hydromode-lab-up.org), University of Parakou, Benin Republic. Her research projects are related to improving agricultural water use in a context of climate change. She is visiting the Department of Remote Sensing in the framework of her post-doctoral fellowship project, which aims to determine appropriate sowing dates for maize production under deficit irrigation conditions for decision making in Benin. She is using remote sensing methods to model soil moisture for use in crop models. One aim for the time of her stay at the department is to explore and improve her skills in soil moisture modeling and crop growth monitoring using remote sensing techniques. Gloriose will be staying with us until the end of 2022 and we look forward to working together with her.
