Current research interests:
Ground-Penetrating Radar measurements of field-scale soil moisture for remote sensing applications, currently in the framework of the following projects:
-
RECAST Urumqi, in cooperation with the XIEG, CAS, Urumqi, V.R. China. Some impressions from a recent field campaign to the Urumqi region in 2010 can be found over at the RECAST website.
-
Watershed Allied Telemetry Experimental Research (WATER), in cooperation with the CAREERI, CAS, Lanzhou, V.R. China.
Former projects:
-
Longterm monitoring of permafrost at Svalbard, in cooperation with the AWI Potsdam (2007).
Awards
-
Outstanding Student Presentation Award, EGU General Assembly 2011, European Geophysical Union. The awarded poster can be downloaded from the EGU-OSP Website.
