Aim
The students will learn to design scientifically relevant presentations.
Presentations, approaches and layouts as well as programs will be discussed with regard to its scientific content and goal to ensure high quality presentations and dissemination of relevant information.
Content
Visual scientific presentation skills will be taught. Existing presentations will be discussed and evaluated with regard to visual appearance, scientific content and dissemination. Moreover design and appearance of presentations and poster will be discussed and guidelines provided. Individual training of presentations using a variety of programs will be part of it as well. Alternative presentation methods will be introduced (e.g. knitr, beamer).
Coding
Visual as well as coding approaches for presentations are covered
Software
Various software programs will be used, but mainly R with knitr, markdown, slidify etc. or Latex Beamer
Techniques
Different visualisation, oral presentation as well as preparation techniques will be introduced and practically applied.
Content
Theoretical and practical background of scientific presentations and their underlying assumptions and software are covered

RStoolbox now maintained by our EAGLE Konstantin Müller
we are very happy that our EAGLE Konstantin Müller took over the maintenance and further development of the remote sensing R stats package RStoolbox. Of course the "older" developers like Jakob Schwalb-Willmann (also an old EAGLE) and Benjamin Leutner (also our old...
EAGLE students train scientific presentations
Within our scientific presentation course within the EAGLE Msc our students also have to learn how deliver good scientific presentation within a large lecture room and for a larger crowd of scientists. Therefore we expose them to the large number of bsc students...

EAGLEs high up in the mountains
Some of our EAGLEs went up to the research station on the highest mountain of Germany to explore the research activities conducted in this area and discuss what remote sensing can contribute. The met ecologists, botanists and other disciplines and learned what Earth...
Article published by our EAGLE Laura Obrecht
Just before the end of last year Lauras manuscript about fractional cover analysis in Namibia got published! Her research is titled "Mapping Changes in Fractional Vegetation Cover on the Namib Gravel Plains with Satellite-Retrieved Land Surface Emissivity Data"....
EAGLE Xmas party
After a bit more than 2 months of intense Earth Observation courses and lots of studying of radar, cloud computing, r and python programming and much more the EAGLEs are celebrating the end of the year and two weeks break before the second part of the winter terms...
EAGLEs presented their work in the Arctic and South Africa
Today 5 of our EAGLE students presented their work in the past months in the Arctic using remote sensing data, space-borne and UAS, for ecological and conservation applications. Beside their very impressive scientific results did they also report on their general life...
EAGLEs at DLR DFD LAX
As part of the lecture by Claudia Künzer all EAGLEs of her course also visit the Earth Observation Center of DLR in Oberfpaffenhofen and listen to various talks by remote sensing scientists working in Oberpfaffenhofen: Patrick Sogno, an EAGLE alumni and also PhD...
EAGLE lecturer also training ESA astronauts on earth observation
One of our EAGLE lecturer; Dr. Doris Klein, is not only teaching remote sensing to our international EAGLE students but also to future astronauts! Great to see that earth observation is also trained within other disciplines than our own specific remote sensing MSc....
