Dr. Bastian Siegmann

I am a trained Geographer with more than ten years experience in the field of hyperspectral optical remote sensing of vegetation using proximal and remote sensing data recorded from UAV, airborne and satellite platforms. My main research interests are the retrieval, scaling and interpretation of remotely-sensed solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF) to better understand the physiological response of plants to changing environmental conditions. Moreover, I am responsible for all activities related to the hyperspectral airborne imaging spectrometer HyPlant, which is the official airborne demonstrator for the upcoming FLuorescence EXPlorer (FLEX) satellite mission of the European Space Agency (ESA).
