Profile
Abstract
I am full professor for Remote Sensing in Geo- and Ecosystem Research at the Remote Sensing Centre for Earth System Research. My research and teaching activities include spatio-temporal analyses of patterns in species distributions, functional ecosystem properties, ecosystem services and biodiversity. For this purpose, I am using optical Earth observation systems, in-situ measurements and modelling approaches.
