News / Press

The Terrestrial Water Dynamics team successfully attended the EGU General Assembly 2024 in Vienna! Presenting cutting-edge research and fostering collaborations, we're already looking forward to next year's EGU.

The UFZ Forest Condition Monitor is now live. It provides spatially explicit information about the condition of Germany's forests from 2016 to 2022.

Two of our MoDEV PhD candidates published their latest research in Remote Sensing of Environment. Antonia Ludwig assessed the spectral variation hypothesis doi and Toni Schmidt compared soil moisture products with cosmic-ray neutron sensing observations doi.

UFZ press release of a study led by Almudena García-García: Heat extremes in the soil are underestimated

The forest condition monitor from our working group LACY is part of the Environmental Photo Festival horizons zingst 2023 and publicly displayed in the city Zingst until summer 2024.

UFZ press release of a study led by Francisco José Cuesta Valero: Underestimated Heat Storage

Daniel Doktor interviewed by radioeins: presenting the forest monitor.

Congratulations to Reagan Okoth for a successful oral Master defense!

Welcome Peter Borrmann to join us as a PhD candidate in December 2022.

Fantastic and successful first department retreat in Grimma since the establishment of the team:

Germany-wide grassland management and land-use intensity information depicted from satellite-data (Lange et al. 2022) are now available as download and web service

Congratulations to Francisco José Cuesta Valero for being awarded the Alexander von Humboldt Research Fellowship, and we warmly welcome him to join us in October 2021.

MoDEV project kick-off seminar was successfully held on Sep 21, 2021. Four talented and motivated phd candidates will apply novel model-data fusion methods to better understand environmental variability based on high-resolution remote sensing.
