Description
Remote Sensing Research at GFZ aims at establishing remote sensing as a core methodology towards better understanding of Earth system dynamics. For this purpose, the full range of available remote sensing data acquired by satellites, airborne and ground based systems is used for area-wide mapping at different spatial and temporal scales. For this purpose, novel bio- and geo-physical information products are derived and a variety of computer-based methods is developed for their analytical exploitation. The goal is the spatiotemporal characterization of Earth's surface properties related to a large variety of application fields, such as observation of landscape and vegetation development, impacts of climate change and natural disasters and effects of human land use.
