Theses

I supervise bachelor's theses with a focus on remote sensing and/or GIS-based analyses. My personal research interests lie in Arctic and Alpine natural environments, with a focus on climate change-induced changes and natural hazards for (sub)urban areas.

Possible topics for final theses:

  • Mapping and Monitoring Glacial Lakes in the Himalaya or Andes using Multi-Sensor EO Data
  • Use of remote sensing data to monitor transportation infrastructure, using Kansai Airport, Japan, as an example
  • Dangers and potential of glacial lakes in the Hindu Kush-Himalaya region under the influence of climate change and the dangers posed by glacier lake outburst floods
  • Impact of Glacier Retreat for the hydrological system in the Himalayas/Andes
  • Monitoring Seasonal Lake Dynamics in Permafrost Regions (Tibetan Plateau/Canada/Scandinavia)
  • Long-Term Trends in High-Altitude/Latitude Lake Surface Temperature using EO data
  • Vegetation Colonization on Newly Exposed Glacial Forefields
  • Detection of changes in military infrastructure using multisensor remote sensing
