Tobias Ullmann

Prof. Dr. Tobias Ullmann has served as Full University Professor (W2) for Remote Sensing in Geography at the Department of Remote Sensing, University of Würzburg since October 2022. His research integrates Earth observation archives with physical geographic investigations, focusing on polar, semiarid, and arid regions using SAR data, multispectral optical satellite imagery, and digital terrain models. Key projects include climate change impact assessment, interdisciplinary cooperation with biology/ecology fields, and UAV-based environmental data collection.
