GPS
Environmental monitoring technology and a laboratory are available to facilitate the monitoring of Earth surface processes and the identification of parameters required for ecohydrological modeling. These facilities are used not only for research but also to introduce students to modern measuring systems for GIScience and environmental research.
GPS
Leica differential GPS receivers were recently purchased for precise measurrements of Earth surface dynamics (e.g., slope deformation or rock glacier movement). 20 Trimble Juno 3B GPS receivers are furthermore available for mobile mapping applications in teaching and research.
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs)
Two UAVs (fixed-wing and copter) are available in our group for the 3D reconstruction of surfaces (e.g., sinkholes, snow cover, vegetation) for academic research.
Monitoring Networks and Equipment
A variety of environmental sensors and monitoring stations are currently deployed in several study areas worldwide within research projects. Among these instruments are more than 10 Automatic Weather Stations, online water quality stations, soil moisture stations, Stevens hydroprobes and Onset HOBO temperature data loggers.
