Through my research, I aim to gain a better understanding of natural hazards, their interactions and cascading effects, and their impacts on the environment and society. I focus on the development of remote sensing-based methods for mapping, monitoring, and characterising various natural hazards (particularly landslides) and geomorphological features, and assessing spatio-temporal landscape dynamics in an interdisciplinary manner.

Carla Mae Arellano, MSc.
Researcher

Schillerstraße 30, 5020 Salzburg

E-Mail:

With data science and AI-based methods, my research aims to understand, map, and correlate physical processes using multi-modal Earth Observation data (optical, SAR, thermal). I enjoy working on practical applications and analyses from biophysical and physiological points of view at various scales: from studying a leaf, up to mapping an entire study area or region. More…
