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.

REMOTE SENSING INDICES

Remote sensing indices are band ratios designed to highlight specific surface features (vegetation, soil, water, urban areas, snow, burned areas, etc.) using the spectral reflectance properties of the Earth's surface. They improve classification accuracy and environmental monitoring. 1. Vegetation Indices NDVI – Normalized Difference Vegetation Index Formula: (NIR – RED) / (NIR + RED) Concept: Vegetation reflects strongly in NIR and absorbs in RED due to chlorophyll. Measures: Vegetation greenness & health Uses: Agriculture, drought monitoring, biomass estimation EVI – Enhanced Vegetation Index Formula: G × (NIR – RED) / (NIR + C1×RED – C2×BLUE + L) Concept: Corrects for soil and atmospheric noise. Measures: Vegetation vigor in dense canopies Uses: Tropical rainforest mapping, high biomass regions GNDVI – Green Normalized Difference Vegetation Index Formula: (NIR – GREEN) / (NIR + GREEN) Concept: Uses Green instead of Red ...

Energy Interaction with Atmosphere and Earth Surface

In Remote Sensing , satellites record electromagnetic radiation (EMR) that is reflected or emitted from the Earth. Before reaching the sensor, radiation interacts with: The Atmosphere The Earth's Surface These interactions control how satellite images look and how we interpret them. I. Interaction of EMR with the Atmosphere When solar radiation travels from the Sun to the Earth, four main processes occur: 1. Absorption Definition: Absorption occurs when atmospheric gases absorb radiation at specific wavelengths and convert it into heat. Main absorbing gases: Ozone (O₃) → absorbs Ultraviolet (UV) Carbon dioxide (CO₂) → absorbs Thermal Infrared Water vapour (H₂O) → absorbs Infrared Concept: Atmospheric Windows These are wavelength regions where absorption is very low, allowing radiation to pass through the atmosphere. Remote sensing depends on these windows. For example, satellites like Landsat 8 use visible, near-infrared, and thermal bands located in atmospheric windows. 2. Trans...

Atmospheric Window

The atmospheric window in remote sensing refers to specific wavelength ranges within the electromagnetic spectrum that can pass through the Earth's atmosphere relatively unimpeded. These windows are crucial for remote sensing applications because they allow us to observe the Earth's surface and atmosphere without significant interference from the atmosphere's constituents. Key facts and concepts about atmospheric windows: Visible and Near-Infrared (VNIR) window: This window encompasses wavelengths from approximately 0. 4 to 1. 0 micrometers. It is ideal for observing vegetation, water bodies, and land cover types. Shortwave Infrared (SWIR) window: This window covers wavelengths from approximately 1. 0 to 3. 0 micrometers. It is particularly useful for detecting minerals, water content, and vegetation health. Mid-Infrared (MIR) window: This window spans wavelengths from approximately 3. 0 to 8. 0 micrometers. It is valuable for identifying various materials, incl...

Landsat band composition

Short-Wave Infrared (7, 6 4) The short-wave infrared band combination uses SWIR-2 (7), SWIR-1 (6), and red (4). This composite displays vegetation in shades of green. While darker shades of green indicate denser vegetation, sparse vegetation has lighter shades. Urban areas are blue and soils have various shades of brown. Agriculture (6, 5, 2) This band combination uses SWIR-1 (6), near-infrared (5), and blue (2). It's commonly used for crop monitoring because of the use of short-wave and near-infrared. Healthy vegetation appears dark green. But bare earth has a magenta hue. Geology (7, 6, 2) The geology band combination uses SWIR-2 (7), SWIR-1 (6), and blue (2). This band combination is particularly useful for identifying geological formations, lithology features, and faults. Bathymetric (4, 3, 1) The bathymetric band combination (4,3,1) uses the red (4), green (3), and coastal bands to peak into water. The coastal band is useful in coastal, bathymetric, and aerosol studies because...
