Matthias Pietsch

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Matthias Pietsch serves as a Professor at the Faculty of Agriculture, Ecotrophology and Landscape Development, Anhalt University of Applied Sciences in Bernburg, Germany. His academic focus centers on geospatial technologies for sustainable environmental and landscape planning across agricultural and urban contexts.

His research spans Geographic Information Systems (GIS) applications in landscape architecture, renewable energy infrastructure planning (particularly wind farm siting and visual impact assessment), precision agriculture through remote sensing, and green infrastructure development. He integrates spatial analysis with ecological principles to address land use challenges and resource management.

His 2025 publications demonstrate a cohesive trend in applying geospatial methodologies to environmental sustainability: from wind energy impact assessments and sugar beet yield optimization using vegetation indices to green infrastructure synergies. These works reveal interdisciplinary connections between environmental science, agricultural technology, and urban planning.

Prof. Pietsch maintains an extensive collaboration network with institutions including Fraunhofer ISE, Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research (UFZ), Landesanstalt für Landwirtschaft und Gartenbau Sachsen-Anhalt, HafenCity University Hamburg, Technical University Dresden, and numerous governmental and private sector partners across Germany.
