Meet the conifer luminary: Matthias Forkel presents his research about preventing forest fires with satellites
Prof. Dr. Matthias Forkel, Junior Professorship for Environmental Remote Sensing
In this year's last event in the series "Meet the conifer luminary" , Prof. Matthias Forkel from the Junior Professorship for Remote Sensing of the Environment will be a guest at the Botanical Garden of TUD Dresden University of Technology.
The scientist will shed light on the topic of forest fires and how they can be researched and prevented on August 17, 2025, starting at 3:30 pm. With increasing summer drought as a result of the climate crisis, forest fires are also on the rise in our latitudes. Huge areas in Saxon-Bohemian Switzerland burned as recently as 2022. But how can satellites provide information about the causes of fires and the prevention of forest fires when investigating such burnt areas? Ask your questions and join the discussion!
