Relevant supervisors for Earth Observation projects

The head of the study line "Earth Observation", John Merryman Boncori, has compiled the following list of researchers at DTU, who could be relevant as supervisors for special courses, synthesis projects or Master's Theses within the study line's focus areas.

But there are no doubt other researchers at DTU, who could also be relevant, so look around, talk to course teachers, and see what  DTU Career Hub for students and alumni suggests in terms of projects and supervisors for ESPE students.

Main supervisors

Name, title & affiliation Research field
Henriette Skourup
Senior Researcher, DTU Space
Cryosphere.
Jens Olaf Pepke Pedersen
Senior Scientist, DTU Space
Earth System science, biogeochemical cycles, climate change.
John Merryman Boncori
Associate Professor, DTU Space
Synthetic Aperture Radar Interferometry: Measurement of ground motion associated with geophysical phenomena (glacier flow, earthquakes, landslides, permafrost environments) and infrastructure; Methodology (Persistent scatterer InSAR techniques, integration with GNSS).
Jørgen Dall
Professor, DTU Space
Radar systems and signal processing. Focus areas are: Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) radars, synthetic aperture radars (SAR), ice sounding radars and ice sheet mapping.
Karina Nielsen

Louise Sandberg Sørensen
Senior Researcher, DTU Space
Use of remote sensing data from satellites and aircrafts to monitor how the Earth's land ice (especially the Greenland Ice Sheet) is responding to climate change.
Ole Baltazar Andersen
Professor, DTU Space
Use of satellite altimetry and other remote sensing data for geodetic, geophysical, oceanographic, climatological and hydrological purposes.
René Forsberg
Professor, DTU Space
Cryosphere remote sensing, Gravity field measurements from Space and the associated global geodynamics and hydrology, laser altimetry from space (IceSat-2).
Sebastian Bjerregaard Simonsen
Senior Researcher, DTU Space
Emphasis on ice-core and remote-sensing data assimilation. By modeling snow and ice processes and utilizing data from the Cryosat-2 mission, the present research goal is to better estimate present-day changes of the cryosphere, with focus on the interior part of ice sheets.
Sine Munk Hvidegaard
Senior Advisor, DTU Space
Cryosphere.
Sten Schmidl Søbjærg
Associate Professor, DTU Space
Radar, radiometer og hardware.
Thomas Ingeman-Nielsen
Associate Professor, DTU Sustain
Permafrost mapping, monitoring and modelling, based on near surface geophysics and remote sensing data; laboratory investigations of frozen soil physical and mechanical properties; monitoring and modelling of infrastructure stability on permafrost.
