Welcome to the homepage of the Chair of Earth Observation and Remote Sensing at the ETH Zurich.
The Chair is headed by Prof. Dr.Irena Hajnsek and performs research and teaching in the fields of: Radar Remote Sensing (SAR), Electromagnetic Modelling, and Bio-/Geophysical Inversion Methods.
Our team successfully carried out a radar measurement campaign with duration of several weeks at the High Altitude Research Station Jungfraujoch. The measurements focused on exploration of novel concepts of radar observations of snow cover, as well as on performing combined measurements of snow cover in collaboration with research groups from other institutes.
On Nov 22, 2023, Roman Guliaev has successfully presented and defended his Doctoral thesis with the title: “Integration of polarimetric, interferometric and tomographic SAR information to improve forest structure estimation”
At this year's edition of Zurich's popular science festival Scientifica, members of the general public had the opportunity to visit our group's stand to learn about our work, as well as try out several interactive exhibits which gave insights into how we use SAR satellites to explore the Earth.
