Sascha Willmes from @unitrier.bsky.social just presented his work on sea ice lead detection using #sentinel3 SLSTR at #LPS25

Come see me at poster O43 to chat about out approach of developing a space-borne weighing machine to measure human-made materials. #LPS

#FORCE_EO meets #LPS. Join us this afternoon for a gathering of developers, contributors and users. 17:45 - 19:00, 1st Floor, Foyer L3, Area 2. More info here: github.com/davidfrantz/...

On my way to #LPS25 and looking forward to one week of condensed #earthobservation! Our team will present a broad portfolio of tree species unmixing, sea ice, land surface phenology, and human-made material mapping. Also come and chat with me during the open science in the making session - #FORCE_EO

The application window for our English-taught MSc in Geoinformatics is now open! Join us in Trier to become an expert in 🌞 #remotesensing, 🛰️ #earthobservation and 🗺️ #GIS! www.uni-trier.de/en/studium/s...

📣In our new paper we analyzed the impact of #Landsat and #Sentinel-2 🛰️ #satellite data density and SMA endmembers on trends in #grasslands ground cover: - for monthly composites data density is irrelevant - correct endmember definitions are critical‼️ Check out the full paper tinyurl.com/wha6pzax

🚨 Fresh off the press in #RSE: D. Klehr's first #PhD chapter 🎉 presents a new approach to surpass classification of tree species for large areas 🛰️🌳🌲. We pair #Sentinel2 #EarthObservation with #ANN #AI models to predict sub-pixel tree species! #OpenAccess: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Excellent to have you here! I joined 2mo ago, and so far it has been great :)

One week left to apply!

I'm so happy and proud of this decision 🙂. It is very important now to use the data, and compare the performances obtained with 2 and 3 satellites in your future communications. It will be the good way to thank @esa.int and #Copernicus.

💼Job Alert: I am hiring a PostDoc/PhD (100%, 3yrs) to develop and orchestrate cloud-based workflows within a project that will create a forest information system 🌳 for Germany based on #sentinel2 🛰️ and #als ✈️. tinyurl.com/4hw426vw #RemoteSensing #EarthObservation @unitrier.bsky.social @thuenen.de

Happy to share our new paper on soil-specific unmixing of croplands in Germany led by Felix Lobert. We adapted @katjakowalski.bsky.social’s approach using #Landsat and #Sentinel-2 🛰️ to account for soil variability using a soil reflectance composite developed at @thuenen.de EO: tinyurl.com/5n92ae5z

🎥 How do we study forests using satellite and laser data? Here's a overview by our Prof. Cornelius Senf (@corneliussenf.bsky.social) in a short video produced by @daadworldwide.bsky.social (with English subs): www.youtube.com/watch?si=KPm...
