Aim
This course provides detailed knowledge of programming or coding using spatial data, especially for remote sensing and GIS tasks.
Content
Different spatial programming approaches are covered using actual remote sensing and GIS data to enable the students to apply a variety of methods in a semi-automatic manner for remote sensing data analysis. All methods will be practically applied during the course using the programming language R and maybe other programs such as GRASS, SAGA, QGIS or OTB. This course continues where the “Programming and Geostatistics” courses stopped and is considered a prerequisite. Both courses are tightly linked

Anna Orthofer successfully presented her M.Sc. thesis
Anna Orthofer presented last Friday her M.Sc. thesis "Deriving Leaf Area Index and mowing dates for grasslands based on the radiative transfer model SLC and Sentinel 2 data" successfully and is our first EAGLE M.Sc. graduate in 2020. Congratulations!
EAGLE wall of fame – our graduates
All our graduated EAGLE students are shown on our wall-of-fame. Great way to see who studied when and what was the topic about. Some of them are already doing their PhD with us or other research organizations and two of these graduates just founded their own remote...
