field of remote sensing and hydrology. Our department conducts innovative research to advance the understanding of the Earth system by various remote sensing techniques. It has extensive research experience in quantifying land surface dynamics via multi-source
Earth observations across scales. Another focus lies on the investigation of land-atmosphere interaction and climate extremes using novel remote sensing products. The Research Scientist will bring expertise and capabilities that complement and broaden the <b class="">department’s
research portfolio</b> (<a href="https://www.ufz.de/index.php?en=43327" class=""><span class="" style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; -webkit-font-kerning: none; color: rgb(9, 79, 209);">https://www.ufz.de/index.php?en=43327</span></a>), with a<b class=""> focus
