Abstract

Dr. Maik NETZBAND studied and graduated in applied physical geography at the University of Trier/Germany and (Ph.D.) at the Technical University of Dresden. While having done further research in urban ecology and urban planning at the Institute for Ecological and Regional Research in Dresden, and later on, at the University of Leipzig and at Arizona State University he took the advantage to intensify his methodological knowledge of remote sensing techniques when approaching questions of urban ecology and urban planning. In particular, problems associated with urban land-use, climate, soil imperviousness, and land consumption, green areas, and open spaces caught his attention. His special research interest lies in monitoring and evaluating these complex issues with methods of remote sensing and geo-information. Currently is working with the Ruhr-University in Bochum/Germany on various urban related and international geo-information research projects.
