Description
The announced PhD position is part of the new Remote Sensing of Environmental Changes group.Remote sensing is vital in documenting and monitoring environmental changes worldwide. Analysing remote sensing data is complex, and finding solutions often requires custom-tailored algorithms. For what concerns environmental changes, most problems come with additional challenges, i.e., dealing with the inherent limitations of each sensor and platform and determining how to apply solutions at different scales.The research group aims to address these challenges and to make an impact in quantifying, understanding, and mitigating environmental changes in the cryosphere, forestry, and geomorphology. To this end, we aim to address fundamental and methodological questions in remote sensing. Yet, several challenges exist, including managing the sheer volume and variety of geospatial data available from open and commercial sensors and across different spatial and temporal resolutions. Furthermore, the imminent launch of new satellite missions will open new research perspectives.
- Qualifications
- You have completed a M.Sc. degree in photogrammetry, remote sensing, computer vision, physical geography, earth systems science, physics, or related fields.
- strong interest and possibly some experience in image processing, photogrammetry, computer vision, and change detection analysis is expected.
- Very good skills in processing and analysing geospatial data and advanced programming and computational skills (e.g., Python) are required.
- Experience and interest in cryosphere processes are welcome.
- You have very good written and spoken English and are willing to interact with an interdisciplinary science community.
- Knowing German is an additional asset but not required
