University of Würzburg - Department of Remote Sensing

The Department of Remote Sensing is funded by the German Aerospace Centre (DLR). All activities are based on a strong cooperation with the German Remote Sensing Data Center (DFD) of DLR. Education and research are realized within a growing network including academic and other research organizations. Besides teaching at Wuerzburg University (Diploma and B.Sc. degrees) the department contributes to the M.Sc. studies Global Change Ecology at the University of Bayreuth with several remote sensing courses.

Method developments and applications mainly concentrate on:

1. Land cover
2. Validation and calibration
3. Modeling

These method developments and applications are covered in the context of four thematic topics:

1. Biodiversity and Land Use
2. Land Surface Dynamics and Ressource Management
3. Remote Sensing of Urban Areas
4. Crisis Information Systems
