Clemens Eisank successfully
defended his PhD Thesis entitled “An object‐based workflow for integrating
spatial scale and semantics to derive landforms from Digital Elevation Models“. Dr. Blaschke served as the chair of the
examination panel, Dr. Harry Seijmonsbergen
(University of Amsterdam) and Dr. Stefan Lang acted as discussants.
A large audience of more than
50 interested students, staff and faculty followed the presentation of the
candidate and the lively and challenging discussion.
This is the 2nd
successful defense within the Doctoral College “Geographic Information Science”
which started in 2011.
During the project SCALA (Scales
and Hierarchies in Landform Classification) Clemens started his PhD in late
2008, focusing on multi-scale landform modelling with object-based image
analysis (OBIA). Currently, he is the principal researcher in iSLIDE
(Integrated Semi-automated Landslide Delineation, Classification and
Evaluation) and will continue to work as a PostDoc at the Department of
Geoinformatics – Z_GIS within this national-funded stand-alone project (FWF).
Due to his project engagement
Clemens has obtained profound knowledge in GIS, geomorphology, geomorphometry,
and geostatistics. Further, he is well experienced with the concepts and
methods of object-based image analysis (OBIA) as well as with scaling issues.
We congratulate him to his performance and wish him all the best for his
future career as a scientist!
