EAGLE workshop on Earth Observation application

Our first EAGLE workshop on Earth Observation applications covered various topics. After a heartily welcome by Tobias Ullmann did more than 50 participants listen to the following talks:

  •     Ása Aðalsteinsdóttir: “SAR Monitoring in Iceland”
  •     Katrin Wernicke: „Mapping Refugee Camps with DL”
  •     Malin Fischer: „From EAGLE to International Development”
  •     Ka Hei Chow: “Mapping Global Aboveground Biomass using DL”
  •     Luisa Wagner: “Ice Shelf Dynamics – from Observation to Modelling”
  •     Dilara Kim: “Snowlines from space: observing Central Asian glaciers”
  •     Magdalena Halbgewachs: “Working at the center of Satellised Based Crisis Information”
  •     Vanessa Rittlinger: “Detection of Georisks in Space and Time”

The workshop also provided lot of time to discuss different topics around various earth observation research topics and meet new and old colleagues, fellow students, supervisors and MSc graduates. It was fun and a great opportunity for networking and enjoying this great group of earth observation researchers.
