Additional information

A German-wide Earth observation network, TERENO, was launched 3 years ago by the Helmholtz Association and now brings together climate and environmental research from the Alps to the Baltic coast. UFZ researchers from the Department of Environmental Informatics, Karsten Rink, Haibing Shao, Thomas Kalbacher, and Olaf Kolditz together with colleagues from the Department of Monitoring and Exploration Technologies, Steffen Zacharias and Peter Dietrich outline how their collaborative work embarks on new paths with this long-term environmental observation system.

Dr. Olaf Kolditz heads UFZ’s Department of Environmental Informatics and chairs the Department of Applied Environmental Systems Analysis at Technical University of Dresden. Dr. Peter Dietrich heads UFZ’s Department of Monitoring und Exploration Technologies and is also the Professor for Environmental and Engineering Geophysics at the Eberhard-Karls-University of Tübingen.
