The Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing group (Prof. Dr. Konrad Schindler) at the Institute of Geodesy and Photogrammetry is seeking applications for a PhD Candidate / Research Assistant
“Integrated monitoring of ice in selected Swiss lakes”
The project is initiated by the Swiss Federal Office of Meteorology and Climatology and project partners are the Remote Sensing Group of University of Bern and the Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology. The aim is to use satellite images (MODIS, VIIRS) to estimate when the lake icing starts and ends and its spatial extent.
