Mathias Ulrich

Research associate / Geoinformatics and Remote Sensing

Leipzig University, Institute for Geography

My research includes geomorphology, modern and Holocene landscape development and environmental changes as well as human-environment interaction in permafrost regions of Siberia, Alaska and Northern Europe. For the majority of my studies, I conduct geomorphological, sedimentological, hydrological and geo-ecological field research on a wide variety of landscape forms. A crucial part of my research activity, however, is the linking of various geoscientific methods and disciplines using remote sensing, geodata analysis and geographic information systems as core tools. This gives me the opportunity to capture information about processes and landscape conditions on different temporal and spatial scales. The focus of my teaching lies in geoinformatics, physical geography and remote sensing.
