Earth observation data have become an outstanding basis for analyzing environmental
aspects. The increasing availability of remote sensing data is accompanied
by an increasing user demand. Within the scope of the COOPERNICUS-initiative,
the automatic processing of remote sensing data is important for supplying value-
added-information products. The use of additional data like land-water-masks
in the context of deriving value-added information products can stabilize and
improve the product quality of information products.
The authors of this contribution would like to discuss different automated
processing algorithms which are based on land-water masks for value-added
data interpretation. These developments were supported or accompanied by Prof.
Hartmut Asche.
Hartmut Asche prägte über ein Vierteljahrhundert maßgeblich die Forschungsfelder der Geoinformation, Visualisierung und Kartographie. Die vorliegende Festschrift stellt eine würdige Gabe von Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeitern des Institutes für Geographie der Universität Potsdam anlässlich seiner Emeritierung im März 2017 dar. International renommierte, Herrn Asches Karriere begleitende Autorinnen und Autoren, konnten für Fachbeiträge aus den Bereichen Geographie, Geoinformatik, Kartographie und Fernerkundung gewonnen werden. Es werden in fachlich hervorragender Weise Schwerpunkte umrissen, mit welchen Herr Asche sich in seiner von zahlreichen Höhepunkten geprägten wissenschaftlichen Karriere beschäftigte.
The Northeast German Lowland Observatory (TERENO-NE) was established to investigate the regional impact of climate and land use change. TERENO-NE focuses on the Northeast German lowlands, for which a high vulnerability has been determined due to increasing temperatures and decreasing amounts of precipitation projected for the coming decades. To facilitate in-depth evaluations of the effects of climate and land use changes and to separate the effects of natural and anthropogenic drivers in the region, six sites were chosen for comprehensive monitoring. In addition, at selected sites, geoarchives were used to substantially extend the instrumental records back in time. It is this combination of diverse disciplines working across different time scales that makes the observatory TERENO-NE a unique observation platform. We provide information about the general characteristics of the observatory and its six monitoring sites and present examples of interdisciplinary research activities at some of these sites. We also illustrate how monitoring improves process understanding, how remote sensing techniques are fine-tuned by the most comprehensive ground-truthing site DEMMIN, how soil erosion dynamics have evolved, how greenhouse gas monitoring of rewetted peatlands can reveal unexpected mechanisms, and how proxy data provides a long-term perspective of current ongoing changes.
