Welcome to the Geomatics Lab!
Lab focus
The Geomatics Lab focuses on a better understanding of coupled human-environment systems based on remote sensing data and geoinformation. Specific interest lies on land use / land cover change and related ecosystem services.

Our methodological foundation is based on advanced remote sensing data analyses. Themes of interest include landscape to sub-continental mapping and monitoring, deep time series analysis and imaging spectroscopy. Our research contributes to the Global Land Project, the EnMAP Core Science Team and the Landsat Science Team.
