PhD candidate at the Chair of Remote Sensing of the Julius Maximilian University of Würzburg on the assessment of coastal dynamics along the German North Sea coast with different remote sensing sensors. The PhD project is a part of the BMBF-funded METAscales project with the goal to “enhance the resilience of coastal societies by establishing together a collaborative framework for planning, protecting, and managing the disaster risks associated with coastal areas” (https://www.geographie.uni-wuerzburg.de/en/earthobservation/research/current-projects/metascales-marine-extremes-transforming-coasts-pathways-for-coastal-adaptation-across-scales/).
