SP9 Thermal Remote Sensing: Exploring thermal remote sensing and multisensor synergy to map forest evaporation and stress on transpiration
Persons involved:
Research outline:
Frequent droughts and climate extremes over the last two decades have led to increased transpirational stress and reduced cooling effect in Central European forests, affecting their function as climate regulators. Kanishka Mallick from the Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology is using thermal remote sensing and physical models to map evaporation and transpirational stress of forests in Lower Saxony and develop resilience indicators. The aim is to establish a real-time monitoring system for water stress that will be publicly available for Lower Saxony and the whole of Germany in the long term.
