معرفی
Dr. Elisabeth Addink is an Associate Professor in Physical Geography at Utrecht University's Faculty of Geosciences. Her research focuses on remote sensing applications for vegetation and ecosystem monitoring, particularly in dynamic environments like tidal flats, rivers, and agricultural landscapes. She integrates techniques such as object-based image analysis (GEOBIA), deep learning, and UAV-based sensing to study landscape functioning, geo-computation, and hydrological processes. Dr. Addink's work addresses challenges in land degradation, environmental sustainability, and climate resilience, with projects spanning Europe, Africa, and Asia.
Her research interests include the use of geospatial technologies to map ecological variables, assess irrigation water consumption, and model channel networks in estuaries and braided rivers. She has contributed to initiatives like the 'Future Delta' program and collaborates on projects analyzing subsidence in the Mekong Delta and plague host distribution in Kazakhstan. Dr. Addink is actively involved in academic activities, including editorial roles for remote sensing journals and organizing international conferences like GEOBIA.
Dr. Addink's publications reflect a focus on advancing methodologies for environmental monitoring, with recent work emphasizing deep learning-enhanced remote sensing and the application of UAV technology for vegetation and floodplain analysis. She teaches courses in earth sciences and geospatial techniques, and her lab is part of Utrecht's Pathways to Sustainability research theme.
