Summer BBQ at the Department of Remote Sensing
We had perfect weather for the summer BBQ of our department and great talks and discussions. Not all could make it but quite a few and we are looking forward to 2018 with maybe even more future, current and past remote sensing scientists from our department at our...
new publication: r.pi a GRASS package for semi-automatic spatial pattern analysis
Our MEE paper on the r.pi GRASS package is now available online: "r.pi: a GRASS GIS package for semi-automatic spatial pattern analysis of remotely sensed land cover data". This package allows a wide range of spatial pattern analysis from individual based dispersal...

On Friday, June 23rd, three talks will be given within the appointment procedure for the assignment of the professorship for Remote Sensing of Land Surface Dynamics. Wolfgang Buermann „Anwendung von Satelliten-gestuetzten Erdbeobachtungen in der Kohlenstoffkreislauf...
Lecturers from University of Würzburg Trained Young Scientists and Specialists in GIS and Remote Sensing in the 4th CAWa Summer School
42 young master and PhD students as well as junior university teachers and specialists from government agencies and research institutions participated into the two-week 4th CAWa Summer School "Methods and Tools for the Assessment and Monitoring of Central Asian Water...
new GRASS extension: spatial pattern analysis
The r.pi GRASS extension is now published and available through the GRASS extension repository. It provides a range of functionality and allows to easily analyze spatial patch attributes in GRASS. Patches are expected to be raster objects derived from remote sensing...
new publication: land conversion in and around a transboundary protected area
Our former M.Sc. student Henrike published her work "Protection status and national socio-economic context shape land conversion in and around a key transboundary protected area complex in West Africa" where she outlined the capabilities of remotely sensed land cover...

Our article in MEE got accepted "r.pi: a GRASS GIS package for semi-automatic spatial pattern analysis of remotely sensed land cover data" by Martin Wegmann, Benjamin Leutner, Markus Metz, Markus Neteler, Stefan Dech, Stefan and Duccio Rocchini. It outlines the...
New publication: vegetation response to environmental variables in the mountainous forests of Western Himalaya
A recently publisher paper featuring Hooman Latifi and Thorsten Dahms from Dept. of Remote Sensing presents novel results on phenological behaviour of the moist deciduous forests Hymalayan foothills in India during 2013–2015 using Landsat 8 time series data. The paper...
new R package “moveVis” published
Our EAGLE MSc. student Jakob Schwalb-Willmann just published a neat animal movement and remote sensing animation package called "moveVis". It allows to animate movement tracks with corresponding or static remote sensing environmental data. Jakob is currently working...
new publication: Open data and open source for remote sensing training in ecology
Our new publication "Open data and open source for remote sensing training in ecology" lead by Duccio Rocchini is now online covering the potential of open-access and open-source within training Earth Observation applications in other disciplines such as ecology. It...
New M.Sc. started: Burn scar detection using polarimetric ALOS-2 time-series data
Susanne Karg started her M.Sc. thesis on „Burn scar detection using polarimetric ALOS-2 time-series data“ in cooperation with DLR-DFD (Günter Strunz, Sandra Martinis). The aim of this thesis is to develop a change-detection approach using polarimetric SAR (PolSAR)...
M.Sc. handed in: Quantifying land cover change using remote sensing data in a transboundary protected area
Henrike Schulte to Bühne handed in her M.Sc. thesis "Quantifying land cover change using remote sensing data in a transboundary protected area" supervised by Nathalie Pettorelli (ZSL) and me. From the abstract: Biodiversity is declining at unprecedented rates as a...
