Aim
The students will learn to design scientifically relevant presentations.
Presentations, approaches and layouts as well as programs will be discussed with regard to its scientific content and goal to ensure high quality presentations and dissemination of relevant information.
Content
Visual scientific presentation skills will be taught. Existing presentations will be discussed and evaluated with regard to visual appearance, scientific content and dissemination. Moreover design and appearance of presentations and poster will be discussed and guidelines provided. Individual training of presentations using a variety of programs will be part of it as well. Alternative presentation methods will be introduced (e.g. knitr, beamer).
Coding
Visual as well as coding approaches for presentations are covered
Software
Various software programs will be used, but mainly R with knitr, markdown, slidify etc. or Latex Beamer
Techniques
Different visualisation, oral presentation as well as preparation techniques will be introduced and practically applied.
Content
Theoretical and practical background of scientific presentations and their underlying assumptions and software are covered

EAGLE Xmas party
After a bit more than 2 months of intense Earth Observation courses and lots of studying of radar, cloud computing, r and python programming and much more the EAGLEs are celebrating the end of the year and two weeks break before the second part of the winter terms...
EAGLEs presented their work in the Arctic and South Africa
Today 5 of our EAGLE students presented their work in the past months in the Arctic using remote sensing data, space-borne and UAS, for ecological and conservation applications. Beside their very impressive scientific results did they also report on their general life...
EAGLEs at DLR DFD LAX
As part of the lecture by Claudia Künzer all EAGLEs of her course also visit the Earth Observation Center of DLR in Oberfpaffenhofen and listen to various talks by remote sensing scientists working in Oberpfaffenhofen: Patrick Sogno, an EAGLE alumni and also PhD...
EAGLE lecturer also training ESA astronauts on earth observation
One of our EAGLE lecturer; Dr. Doris Klein, is not only teaching remote sensing to our international EAGLE students but also to future astronauts! Great to see that earth observation is also trained within other disciplines than our own specific remote sensing MSc....
Deep Neural Network Regression for Normalized Digital Surface Model Generation with Sentinel-2 Imagery
Our EAGLE student Konstantin Müller published together with our chairholder of the Deparment of Global Urbanization and Remote Sensing, Hannes Taubenboeck an article about DL for surface model generation. The article explores methods to extract high-resolution...
new QGIS plugin and R package
our EAGLE student Konstantin Müller created a QGIS plugin and a corresponding R package for easy point density vizualisation. Create way to learn how to build QGIS plugins and R package for spatial analysis. QGIS plugin: The Bestagon QGIS plugin allows easy density...
