Birgit Kleinschmit

Prof. Dr. Birgit Kleinschmit is a Professor at the Technical University of Berlin specializing in Geoinformation in Environmental Planning and serves as Principal Investigator for the DFG Research Group FOR 2694 "Cosmic Sense", leading its Remote Sensing (RS) module focused on hydrological and environmental applications.

Her research centers on spatio-temporal dynamics of vegetation-soil interactions using multi-temporal and multisensor remote sensing technologies, with extensive interdisciplinary collaboration across national and international projects. Key research domains include:

• Advanced remote sensing for environmental monitoring
• Land surface process modeling
• Spatio-temporal geospatial analysis
• Interdisciplinary environmental planning

Prof. Kleinschmit actively contributes to major funded initiatives including:

• DFG: UWI (Urban Water Interfaces)
• DFG: UCaHS (Understanding Changes in the Hydrological System)
• BMBF: SuMaRiO (Sustainable Management of River Oases)
• INNOVATE (Innovative Water Management Technologies)

These projects emphasize sustainable resource management through integrated geospatial approaches. No scientific awards were documented in the source material. Her advisory roles remain unspecified, though her leadership in consortium-based research demonstrates significant collaborative grant management. As core faculty within the Cosmic Sense team, she operates within the Remote Sensing module that integrates satellite and airborne data across multiple field sites to advance cosmic-ray sensing applications in hydrology.
