About Us

Interdisciplinary Research

Chair of Plant Ecology

We are linking empirical work with statistical and process-based modelling as essential for developing the science of ecology to the point where we can make reliable predictions on issues critical to society such as the survival of biodiversity and the functioning of the Earth System.

Earth Observation Research Cluster

The EORC conducts research using space-borne and air-borne (UAS, UAV, drones) sensors for various global change topics such as impact of climate change of vegetation, water as well as ice and snow.
