Remote Sensing in Ecology

Wildfires are an essential ecological process in African savannas, shaping landscapes, influencing biodiversity, and playing a key role in nutrient cycling. Understanding their dynamics is crucial for both science and management – and this is where EAGLE MSc student...

We’re excited to share that our EAGLE MSc student, Farimah, is currently spending her internship at the renowned Gobabeb Namib Research Institute, nestled in the heart of the Namib Desert—one of the oldest and most unique desert ecosystems in the world. Farimah’s...

We’re pleased to share that our M.Sc. student Clara Vydra has recently begun her thesis field work in the Austrian Alps in collaboration with the German Alpine Association (DAV) and the German Aerospace Center (DLR). Her research focuses on the impacts of climate...

In a spirited display of teamwork, scientific curiosity, and professional growth, our international MSc students from the EAGLE program recently organised and chaired their own scientific mini-symposium, showcasing the latest developments in remote sensing. The event...

We warmly congratulate Ronja Seitz on the successful defense of her MSc thesis, which tackled one of the most pressing environmental challenges of our time: the rapid warming of the high Arctic. Her research focused on Svalbard, one of the fastest-warming regions on...

Within our EAGLE courses our students have to learn a wide variety of skills - beside the fundamental earth observation theory and practice also skills like map creation is part of the curriculum. One of our students Ronja Seitz has created three visualizations guides...

Dr. Michael Wurm from the German Aerospace Center (DLR) gave a class about Object-based image analysis (OBIA) using the eCognition Software for the EAGLE students. The course gives an insight into the theoretical basis of OBIA and using different datasets and tasks...
