Research fields: Geoinformatics, soil degradation, remote sensing, environmental psychology, vegetation productivity and agricultural yields, soil health    

The GI-Lab focuses primarily on the use of geodata - satellite data, location based social network data as well as data from mobile devices - to better understand earth surface processes and human behavior in space. This is done using spatial analysis techniques including geostatistics as well as lab and field experiments and space- time modeling.
