On 14 July 2025, Nele Landgraf successfully defended her Master’s thesis at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, conducted in close collaboration with our ongoing project. Her research, titled “Integrating multisource remote sensing data for vegetation monitoring on managed peatlands: A case study in ‘Havelländisches Luch’, Brandenburg”, focused on applying and integrating Sentinel-2 and hyperspectral proximal datasets for monitoring vegetation dynamics on drained and managed peatlands.
Supervised by Dr. Gohar Ghazaryan (ZALF) and Prof. Dr. Patrick Hostert (HU Berlin), the thesis contributes findings into the use of Earth observation data to support sustainable peatland management. The case study in Paulieneaue demonstrates how multi-temporal and multi-sensor approaches can capture vegetation patterns relevant for ecosystem monitoring and restoration.
This work aligns directly with the objectives of MoorgrünFE , advancing remote sensing-based assessment methods for peatland ecosystems.
