Research
Our research focuses on the combination of remote sensing data and modelling methods to detect landscape-ecological patterns and processes, as well as on the necessary developments in methodology. This includes the following two subject areas:
- Applied multi-scale remote sensing of landscapes to derive independent atmospheric and ecosystem-based enviromental data sets and as a basis for the analysis of ecosystem parameters and processes.
- Development of methods in the context of spatial and spatio-temporal machine modelling strategies in remote sensing as the basis for interdisciplinary application to landscape-ecological questions.
