The Collaborative Research Center (CRC) ECOSENSE at the University of Freiburg focuses on developing advanced, intelligent sensor networks to monitor and predict changes in forest ecosystems, which are increasingly threatened by climate change. The Department for Sensor-based Geoinformatics contributes to this CRC with technologies like close-range remote sensing, vertical optical depth measurements, drone-based LiDAR, and satellite time series. This multimodal approach allows for a comprehensive analysis of ecosystem processes across various spatial and temporal scales.
