Open Data Science Europe workshop 2022

I'm a doctoral student at the Faculty of Civil Engineering. My dissertation focus on the evaluation of erosion risk of land using remote sensing methods, especially satellite scenes. Within this focus, it is also involved in the solution of the project QK1720289 "Development of an automated tool for optimizing the monitoring of agricultural soil erosion using distance methods" and TH02030428 "Design of technical measures for stabilization and protection of slopes against erosion". I'm also actively involved in activities around the laboratory and field rain simulator. Another of my field of expertise is measuring and developing measuring devices.

Eric Petermann works as a scientific officer at the Federal Office for Radiation Protection (BfS) in Germany in the field of mapping and predicting of environmental radioactivity (mainly radon) with an emphasis on machine learning techniques. He studied Geography, Geology and Geophysics at the University of Leipzig (Germany) and University of Canterbury (New Zealand). After graduation in 2011, he worked for two years for consulting companies in the fields of geophysical site assessment and land management. From 2014 to 2017 he worked as a doctoral researcher at the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research (Germany) in a project focusing on sustainable water management along the South African coast. His dissertation (2018 at Technical University Dresden), which was related to this project, focused on localization and quantification of groundwater discharge into the sea and into lakes using radionuclides and stable isotopes. In 2018, Eric Petermann joined the BfS.

I am a PhD researcher at KU Leuven and the JRC of the European Commission working on soil erosion and sediment delivery across the landscape in European agricultural landscapes. My work includes assessing the on-site consequences of soil erosion as a threat for soil health, as well as assessing the off-site effects of the consequential pollution. I focus on continental scale parametrisation methods, integrating open-source Earth observation, hydrological and monitored sediment data alongside other descriptive geospatial datasets in order to make dynamic simulations of soil erosion.
