#Fieldwork summer 2025 was a very special one. In the #Austrian Alps the good weather periods were very limited and only spontaneous campaigns were possible. Gladly, we were able to capture highly valuable 3D LiDAR data for our new research projects in Austria such as at the #Schesaplana mountain.

🤓 Wir bringen mein Konzept #CL4CA und das frei verfügbare digitale Lernmaterial in die #Schule. Mit #ClimateDataLiteracy, #ClimateChangeLiteracy und #ClimateActionLiteracy machen wir Lernende fit für den Umgang mit Informationen zum #Klimawandel.

🌍 #Forschung 💡 #Lehre 🙌 #Schulpraxis „Critical Literacy for Climate Action. Digitales Lernmaterial stärkt das #Erkennen, #Bewerten und #Handeln in der #Klimakrise“: @kathrinfoshag.bsky.social und ich haben einen neuen Artikel in "geographie heute"! www.friedrich-verlag.de/friedrich-pl...

🕷️ 🌿 Genetic biodiversity can be assessed directly via remote "sampling" and near real-time analysis of airborne environmental DNA (#eDNA). ❓ Is this a game changer for #biodiversity monitoring and #bioprospection? How can we bring the lab results back to the #spatial domain? (1/4)

#3DGeo Sensor Practical 2025! This week, we had our annual two-day practical field course, which took us to Steinbruch Leferenz (Dossenheim) and a sparse pine forest (Sandhausen), where we did #GNSS surveying, #TerrestrialLaserScanning and #UAVPhotogrammetry! #FieldWork #3DGeoTeaching #Education

My home is my study site 😍. This is one of our new @3dgeohd.bsky.social research sites and outdoor labs located in my home region #Vorarlberg in #Austria. A perfect geographic site to develop the next generation of AI-based 3D/4D observation and monitoring technology. #Lünsersee #Schesaplana
