We welcome Sarah Sophia Malec as new MSc student. Her thesis in done in close collaboration with DLR-EOC (Dr. Derek Rogge & Dr. Uta Heiden) on “Assessment of Soil degradation in Costa Rica using reflectance hyperspectral and simulated EnMAP imagery”. Sarah will work with hyperspectral imagery from Costa Rica and use spatial statistical models to analyse soil degradation. Sarah is a Global Change Ecology student and trained extensively in remote sensing, GIS, spatial modelling in the context of ecology, global change and its political implications. The first supervisor is Martin Wegmann, the second on Thomas Köllner.
