The international M.Sc. program EAGLE Applied Earth Observation and Geoanalysis of the Living Environment Remote Sensing and GIS

The international M.Sc. program EAGLE

Applied Earth Observation and Geoanalysis of the Living Environment

is a M.Sc. program dedicated to applied remote sensing for environmental

research.

EAGLE lectures, seminars, and practicals provide in depth methodological

knowledge and practical skills, and additionally provide a comprehensive

overview of the range of remote sensing applications. The potential of Earth

Observation data analyses for research on and management of forest-,

agro-, or

coastal ecosystems or the urban sphere – to name only a few examples –

will be

illuminated. Please browse through our courses in order to get a good

overview

of content and aims.

Application for the upcoming winter term are accepted until May 15th.

EAGLE is an international English language M.Sc. program offered at the

University of Würzburg, Germany. It is focusing on Applied Earth Observation

and Geoanalysis of the environment. The goal of EAGLE is to strengthen the

practical use of applied Earth Observation in research, planning, and

decision

making, and to unlock the full potential of remote sensing data analyses

in your

desired field of application.

EAGLE students are subsequently encouraged to further develop and deepen

their

knowledge and skills tailored to their personal interests during

internships and

innovation laboratories at international partner institutions of the EAGLE

network

The EAGLE study program is a joint initiative of the Institute of

Geography and

Geology at the University of Würzburg, led by the Department of Remote

Sensing in collaboration with the Earth Observation Center at the German

Aerospace Center (DLR-EOC). The courses are taught in English by a team of

internationally recognized researchers from diverse backgrounds.

The accredited (120 ECTS) University degree is open for students from a

variety

of disciplines such as geography, geology, hydrology, ecology, biology, and

other fields in environmental sciences and studies.

Regional Geography, Systematic Geography, Idiographic, Nomothetic, Inductive and Deductive Approaches

T wo major ways of studying Geography : the Regional Approach and the Systematic Approach . It also explains the related ideas of idiographic vs. nomothetic and inductive vs. deductive reasoning , especially in the context of the Hartshorne–Schaefer debate . 1. Regional Geography: “All About One” Regional Geography studies one particular region in detail . A region is an area that has some degree of homogeneity (sameness) within its boundary but is also unique or different from other regions . For example, if we study Palakkad District , we may study: Relief and drainage Climate Soil Vegetation Agriculture Population Occupation Economy Culture Political characteristics The purpose is to understand the complete geographical personality of Palakkad and the relationships among its different features. Key concepts Region: A geographical area with identifiable characteristics and boundaries. Homogeneity: Si...

Kuhn’s Paradigms

The given content explains Thomas S. Kuhn’s model of scientific development , its application to geography, and criticisms by Karl Popper, Paul Feyerabend, Michel Foucault , and others. 1. Basic Idea Kuhn argued that science does not develop continuously in a straight line . Instead, scientific development occurs through: Preparadigm → Paradigm → Normal Science → Crisis → Scientific Revolution → New Paradigm A new paradigm may replace an older one, producing a major change in the way scientists understand and study a subject. Concepts and Terminologies Concept / Term Simple Meaning Paradigm A commonly accepted framework/model that guides scientific research Exemplar A successful concrete problem-solution used as a model for future research Disciplinary Matrix Shared beliefs, values, concepts, methods and techniques of a scientific community Preparadig...

Multispectral and Hyperspectral Imaging Systems

The main idea is how a remote-sensing sensor collects information about an area . A sensor does not simply take an ordinary photograph. It measures the electromagnetic energy reflected or emitted by objects in different wavelength bands . Depending on how many bands are measured and how the sensor collects them, different imaging systems are used. 1. Multispectral vs. Hyperspectral Multispectral imaging (MSI) records information in a limited number of relatively broad, separate spectral bands , such as blue, green, red, near-infrared and shortwave infrared. Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) records information in many narrow and usually contiguous spectral bands . Therefore, it provides a much more detailed spectral signature of each pixel. The resulting dataset is commonly called a hyperspectral data cube (hypercube) because it contains: X-axis → spatial information Y-axis → spatial information Z-axis → wavelength/spectral information Thus, hype...

Discrete Detectors and Scanning mirrors Across the track scanner Whisk broom scanner.

Multispectral Imaging Using Discrete Detectors and Scanning Mirrors (Across-Track Scanner or Whisk Broom Scanner) Multispectral Imaging: This technique involves capturing images of the Earth's surface using multiple sensors that are sensitive to different wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation. This allows for the identification of various features and materials based on their spectral signatures. Discrete Detectors: These are individual sensors that are arranged in a linear or array configuration. Each detector is responsible for measuring the radiation within a specific wavelength band. Scanning Mirrors: These are optical components that are used to deflect the incoming radiation onto the discrete detectors. By moving the mirrors, the sensor can scan across the scene, capturing data from different points. Across-Track Scanner or Whisk Broom Scanner: This refers to the scanning mechanism where the mirror moves perpendicular to the direction of flight. This allows for t...
