WISSENSCHAFTLICHE ANGESTELLTE Dr. Dagmar Brombierstäudl
Dagmar Brombierstäudl is passionate about earth observation and approaches from an applied perspective. Her research area is the Trans-Himalaya and although she primarily works on the cryosphere, her interests are versatile and she is eager to explore the possibilities remote sensing provides to support and answer problems emerging from a rapidly changing world. She has worked at the department since 2020 and holds a Bachelor in South Asian Studies and a Master in Geography.
Research Topics
