Scientific articles

My research focus

This page is a collection of my scientific articles reflecting my research interests and contributions in open source GIS, remote sensing, and environmental modeling.

Wordcloud of scientific publications authored by Markus NetelerOver the years, I have worked on various scientific topics, including filling gaps in satellite-based land surface temperature data, the impact of climate change on agriculture, and the relationship between tick-borne diseases and environmental factors. My work also focuses on the use of remote sensing to analyze biodiversity and ecology in the interplay between technology and the environment.

  • Open Source GIS and Remote Sensing: Contributions to the field of open-source GIS, including discussions on OSGeo, persistent identifiers, and the development of open-source GIS tools and methodologies.
  • Land Surface Temperature and Environmental Monitoring: Research on land surface temperature data from MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) and its applications in environmental monitoring and analysis.
  • Tick-Borne Diseases and Environmental Factors: Research on ecological and environmental factors affecting the risk of tick-borne diseases in Europe, highlighting the intersection of health, environment, and geospatial analysis.
  • Climate Change and Agricultural Impacts: Studies on the impact of climate change on agriculture, including the invasive potential of tropical fruit flies in temperate regions and the monitoring of agricultural progress under changing climate conditions.
  • Biodiversity and Ecological Analysis Using Remote Sensing: Investigations into measuring biodiversity, such as beta-diversity, using remote sensing techniques, and the use of these methods for ecological monitoring and conservation.
