Staff member at the Julius Kühn-Institut (JKI), Institute of Crop Production and Soil Science
Research focus
- Scale-specific geodata integration and analysis
- Agricultural remote sensing (phenology, data fusion, crop classification, crop parameters, production data, land cover, land use intensity)
- Digital soil modelling (soil erosion, soil forecasting, soil evaluation, relief analysis)
- Agricultural yield-relevant extreme weather indicators
Scientific career
- since 2008
