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
  Dr. rer., Eberhard-Karls-University, Tübingen
• 2000
  Diploma in Geography, Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg, Halle (Saale)

Current projects

• BeetScan: Provision of satellite information for the Nordzucker Agriportal (derivation of technical production data)
• SOIL-DE: Development of indicators to assess the yield capacity, intensity of use and vulnerability of agriculturally used soils in Germany (soil prognosis)
• NaLamKI: Sustainable agriculture using AI, sub-project “Multiscale and multisensory information extraction from remote sensing data” (data fusion, phenological metrics)
• DynAWI: Dynamic agricultural weather indicators for extreme weather forecasting in agriculture with artificial intelligence and machine learning methods (Dynamic soil erosion modelling, extreme weather indicators, machine learning)
• Sen2Bee: Sentinel for bees – web services for landscape analysis in bee poisoning and biodiversity promotion (crop species classification, phenology)
• MonViA: The nationwide monitoring of biodiversity in agricultural landscapes, sub-project “Land use monitoring” (intensity of use, structural measures, indicators)
