Land and Atmosphere Remote Sensing

LARS

The LARS (Land and Atmosphere Remote Sensing) group deals with the development of methods for space-based monitoring of bio/geophysical variables of the biosphere.

Currently, our research focus is the development of remote sensing methods to detect, quantify and monitor methane emissions from space, which we do in collaboration with institutions including ESA, UNEP-IMEO and EUMETSAT. We are also involved in the development of data pre-procesing and cal-val methods for the TRUTHS and CHIME future ESA missions.
