Aim
Within this course EAGLE students are exposed to different disciplines and interdisciplinary research.In collaboration with biologists and conservationists new and established approached are discussed and explored by the students in order to define the research goal. The practical analysis is conducted by the students and presented with the collaborators being present.
Content
The students will be introduced to interdisciplinary research and the relevance of clear communication, deliverables and milestones. In a second step they will be linked to different collaborators from other fields and will have the task to define work packages that are feasible within the course time-frame. The actual data analysis will be done as well but the primary goal is not the data analysis but the communication with the other disciplines and being able to provide relevant spatio-temporal information for such a test interdisciplinary project.
Discussions
learning how other disciplines collect field data, what their properties are, what their research questions are
Planning
learning how to plan an interdisciplinary project
Coding
Present
present your research findings to the collaborators

[spotlight] Lecturer Spotlight: Thilo Erbertseder
Thilo is the person at EORC who can tell you exactly how much air pollution was hanging over a given megacity in any given year since the 1990s, and what that actually meant for the people living there. He teaches atmospheric composition and urban remote sensing at...
A First Get-Together with the New EAGLE Generation 🦅
A new EAGLE generation means new faces, new ideas, and the start of another journey in Earth Observation. And what better way to kick things off than with a relaxed evening at the pub? Our first social event brought together the new students, older EAGLE generations,...
Welcome, new EAGLEs!
The newest group of EAGLE students arrived in Würzburg! They come from different countries, with different backgrounds and different skills, and that’s exactly what makes this program special. Remote sensing is a big field, and it gets better when people look at it...
EAGLE student Jolien Grafe spent her internship in Kruger National Park
Jolien spent her internship in Kruger National Park in South Africa, working together with SANParks. She was part of an ongoing DFG project here at EORC that looks at how fire and drought shape savanna ecosystems. The project is led by Mirjana Bevanda and Tobias...
Night shifts with the black-footed cat: Jolien Grafe’s internship in Benfontein
Most remote sensing work happens in the daylight, at a desk or in a field with a drone. Jolien Grafe, one of our EAGLE M.Sc. students, spent a good part of her internship doing the opposite: sitting on a hill at dusk, listening for a beeping signal from a very small,...
