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.

More details on the application process at

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.

Evaluation and Characteristics of Himalayas

Time Period Event / Process Geological Evidence Key Terms & Concepts Late Precambrian – Palaeozoic (>541 Ma – ~250 Ma) India part of Gondwana , north bordered by Cimmerian Superterranes, separated from Eurasia by Paleo-Tethys Ocean . Pan-African granitic intrusions (~500 Ma), unconformity between Ordovician conglomerates & Cambrian sediments. Gondwana, Paleo-Tethys Ocean, Pan-African orogeny, unconformity, granitic intrusions, Cimmerian Superterranes.

Seismicity and Earthquakes, Isostasy and Gravity

1. Seismicity and Earthquakes in the Indian Subcontinent Key Concept: Seismicity Definition : The occurrence, frequency, and magnitude of earthquakes in a region. In India, seismicity is high due to active tectonic processes . Plate Tectonics 🌏 Indian Plate : Moves northward at about 5 cm/year. Collision with Eurasian Plate : Causes intense crustal deformation , mountain building (Himalayas), and earthquakes. This is an example of a continental-continental collision zone . Seismic Zones of India Classified into Zone II, III, IV, V (Bureau of Indian Standards, BIS). Zone V = highest hazard (e.g., Himalayas, Northeast India). Zone II = lowest hazard (e.g., parts of peninsular India). Earthquake Hazards ⚠️ Himalayas: prone to large shallow-focus earthquakes due to active thrust faulting. Northeast India: complex subduction and strike-slip faults . Examples: 1897 Shillong Earthquake (Magnitude ~8.1) 1950 Assam–Tib...

geostationary and sun-synchronous

Orbital characteristics of Remote sensing satellite geostationary and sun-synchronous  Orbits in Remote Sensing Orbit = the path a satellite follows around the Earth. The orbit determines what part of Earth the satellite can see , how often it revisits , and what applications it is good for . Remote sensing satellites mainly use two standard orbits : Geostationary Orbit (GEO) Sun-Synchronous Orbit (SSO)  Geostationary Satellites (GEO) Characteristics Altitude : ~35,786 km above the equator. Period : 24 hours → same as Earth's rotation. Orbit type : Circular, directly above the equator . Appears "stationary" over one fixed point on Earth. Concepts & Terminologies Geosynchronous = orbit period matches Earth's rotation (24h). Geostationary = special type of geosynchronous orbit directly above equator → looks fixed. Continuous coverage : Can monitor the same area all the time. Applications Weather...

Network data model

GIS, a network data model is used to represent and study things that are connected like a web — for example, roads, rivers, railway tracks, water pipes, or electric lines . It focuses on how things are connected and helps us solve problems like finding the best route, the nearest hospital, or where water will flow. Nodes → Points where things meet or end (e.g., road intersections, railway stations, pumping stations). Edges → Lines connecting the nodes (e.g., roads, pipelines, cables). Topology → The "rules" of connection — which node is linked to which edge. Attributes → Extra details about each part (e.g., road speed limit, pipe size, traffic volume). How It Works 🔍 Make the Network Model Start with a map of lines (roads, pipes, rivers) and mark how they connect. Run Analyses Routing → Find the shortest or fastest path. Closest Facility → Find the nearest hospital, petrol station, etc. Service Area → Find how far y...

Pre During and Post Disaster

Disaster management is a structured approach aimed at reducing risks, responding effectively, and ensuring a swift recovery from disasters. It consists of three main phases: Pre-Disaster (Mitigation & Preparedness), During Disaster (Response), and Post-Disaster (Recovery). These phases involve various strategies, policies, and actions to protect lives, property, and the environment. Below is a breakdown of each phase with key concepts, terminologies, and examples. 1. Pre-Disaster Phase (Mitigation and Preparedness) Mitigation: This phase focuses on reducing the severity of a disaster by minimizing risks and vulnerabilities. It involves structural and non-structural measures. Hazard Identification: Recognizing potential natural and human-made hazards (e.g., earthquakes, floods, industrial accidents). Risk Assessment: Evaluating the probability and consequences of disasters using GIS, remote sensing, and historical data. Vulnerability Analysis: Identifying areas and p...
