Alexander Störmer

Alexander Störmer is a Researcher at the Department of Physical Geography and Landscape Ecology, Leibniz University Hannover. He holds an M.Sc. in Landscape Sciences and a B.Sc. in Geography, both from Leibniz University Hannover. His research focuses on developing UAV- and TLS-based methods for landscape structure analysis, periglacial processes, and snow depth modeling in the context of climate change. He coordinates the Double Degree Master's program in Landscape Sciences and advises students in this field. His work integrates remote sensing technologies with field studies to monitor permafrost degradation and environmental changes in Arctic regions.

• Professional Background: Research Assistant since 2020, with prior student assistant roles and internships at institutions like the Kilpisjärvi Biological Station (Finland) and the Federal Institute for Geosciences and Natural Resources.
• Teaching: Contributes to courses in physical geography and landscape ecology through Stud.IP.

Research emphasizes applications of UAS LiDAR and machine learning for high-resolution snow mapping, as well as analyzing palsa mires' vulnerability to climate shifts. His recent publications explore these topics in Arctic environments.
