Prof. Dr. Katharina Anders
Academic Career and Research Areas
The field of research of Prof. Anders (*1990) is methodological research on the analysis of remote sensing data for gaining information and new scientific insights about processes at the Earth's surface. The focus is on cross-scale observation of topographic landscape dynamics in the context of natural hazards, climate change consequences, and human-environment interaction. An important goal is the operationalization of automatic 4D observation (3D space + time) for various applications in geo- and environmental monitoring.
Prof. Anders studied Geography with Computer Science and Environmental Physics at Heidelberg University. She obtained her PhD in Geoinformatics (with distinction) at the Institute of Geography and the Interdisciplinary Centre for Scientific Computing at Heidelberg University, with a research visit at TU Delft. In 2023, Prof. Anders was appointed to the professorship for Remote Sensing Applications at TUM.
