Research Interests
Dr. Astrid Werkmeister's research interests lie at the intersection of satellite remote sensing, climate science, and sustainable development. She is particularly focused on leveraging satellite data to study and mitigate the impacts of climate change on vulnerable communities. Her research aims to advance our understanding of extreme weather events, such as hurricanes, and their interaction with marine and coastal environments.
Key areas of interest include:
-
Satellite Remote Sensing: Exploring innovative methods for using satellite technology to monitor and analyze environmental changes, particularly in relation to atmospheric and marine systems.
-
Climate Change and Human Migration: Investigating the connections between climate change and human displacement, with a focus on developing predictive models that can inform policy and humanitarian responses.
-
Sustainable Development Applications: Utilizing satellite data to support the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals, with an emphasis on climate action, disaster risk reduction, and environmental sustainability.
-
Interdisciplinary Collaboration: Collaborating with industry partners, governmental organizations, and academic institutions to develop practical solutions that address global challenges through the application of satellite remote sensing technologies.
Dr. Werkmeister is committed to advancing research that not only deepens scientific knowledge but also has a tangible impact on society, particularly in the areas of climate resilience and sustainable development.
