Fieldwork during the winter season on Svalbard usually comes with a built-in advantage: snow. It acts as a natural transport layer, making it possible to move efficiently across large distances with snowmobiles and sleds. Entire field campaigns are planned around that...

Understanding how agriculture can adapt to a changing climate is one of the key challenges of our time. At EORC, we are pleased to share that our researchers are currently collaborating with the Bavarian State Research Center for Agriculture (LfL) on an innovative...

Remote sensing thrives on collaboration as shown (by a few selected ones) on our most recent roll-up. Many of today’s most pressing urban and environmental challenges—rapid urbanization, climate change, landcover change, migration, inequality, and economic...

What happens when researchers and developers sit down together to explore a multidisciplinary urban dataset? Our researchers from the EORC joined a hackathon that took place within the Super-Test-Site Project, organised by Prof. Dr. Gunther Gust from the Chair of...

On April 17th and 29th our researchers Sofía and Ariane had two field days in the areas around Amberg and Schwandorf, one of Germany's most well-known TBE (tick-borne encephalitis) risk regions. They joined Prof. Dr. Gerhard Dobler and Dr. Lidia Chitimia-Dobler from...
