The official EAGLE welcome will be on Monday as well followed by a joint dinner before the courses start on Tuesday. Further details on course dates and locations will be posted soon as well as on the EAGLE students listserv. Regular updates on EAGLE events, courses and activities will be announced and discussed in the EAGLE jour fixe.
We are looking forward to meet the new EAGLE students!
A central goal of the EAGLE Earth Observation programme is to equip students with a broad and practical understanding of the software tools used in geospatial analysis. Rather than focusing on a single platform, students are encouraged to explore different approaches,...
From raging wildfires to devastating floods, natural hazards are becoming more frequent, more intense, and harder to predict. In this rapidly changing world, the ability to understand disasters as they unfold is no longer optional—it’s essential. This is exactly where...
Our EAGLE M.Sc. students, coming from all over the world, are making the most of the short breaks between courses. Whether it’s spontaneous snow angel sessions or friendly snowball fights around the EORC, laughter and flying snow are never far away. These moments of...
At EAGLE, studying together is only part of the story. Our students are more than classmates — they’re hiking buddies, party companions, and the kind of people who show up to lectures with birthday cakes 🎂. Today was a perfect example. Our EAGLE student...

On February 03, 2026, Agnes Zwick will present her internship "Internship at Helmholtz Zentrum Munich" at 12:00 in seminar room 3, John-Skilton-Str. 4a. From the abstract: From September to October 2025, the internship was completed at the Helmholtz Zentrum München...
On February 24, 2026, Lena Jäger will present her Master Thesis on "Assessing the potential of thermal UAS for spatio-temporal Arctic snow monitoring - A pilot study in Bjørndalen, Svalbard" at 12:00 in seminar room 3, John-Skilton-Str. 4a. From the abstract: The...
As part of our course on Earth Observation data acquisition, EAGLE students experience first-hand that even the best planning is ultimately shaped by the weather. While flight plans, measurement strategies, and schedules can be carefully prepared in advance, field...
Recently, our team carried out another successful field campaign at the Schneefernerhaus research station on the Zugspitze in the Alps. Together with our EAGLE students, we collected UAS-based environmental data alongside detailed in-situ measurements of snow...
