About
Sebastian graduated in the EAGLE master’s program (2nd generation) and now continues his scientific career at EORC in Würzburg as an assistant researcher. He is currently completing his PhD thesis, which focuses on the analysis of alpine periglacial processes and landforms using SAR remote sensing and geophysical in situ methods such as electrical resistivity tomography (ERT). His research focusses on monitoring changes in arctic and alpine environments driven by global warming, with an emphasis on snow and permafrost dynamics. His expertise includes time series analysis of optical and SAR backscatter data, as well as the processing of Differential SAR Interferometry (DInSAR) data. In addition to frequent fieldwork in the European Alps, his day-to-day work involves Python programming and the development of analysis tools in Google Earth Engine. As part of the research project “MainPro,” he also applies his remote sensing knowledge to support ecosystem-based climate adaptation strategies in the Würzburg region
