"We advance terrestrial
Earth observation
from space"

Our focus is on developing and applying remote sensing methods to better understand global change related to land systems, adhering to FAIR principles and adopting an open data philosophy. We concentrate on mapping land cover, land use and related spatio-temporal change patterns. Applications extend from agriculture (both cropland and grassland), over forest ecosystems to urban areas. The analysis of long and dense time series from Landsat and Sentinel data is core for our research - from landscape to continental scales. Hyperspectral image analysis is a second cornerstone of the Earth Observation Lab.

Paper on Forest Ecology and Management

Christian Levers developed, together with several collaborators in VOLANTE, a forest harvesting intensity metric and analyzed the factors that explain the spatial pattern of forest harvesting across Europe.
