Selected Projects 2008-2013:
Geoland 2: Supporting the Monitoring, Protection and Sustainable Management of our Environment
EC FP7 collaborative project, 2008-2012; http:// http://www.gmes-geoland.info/
Our team has the scientific lead in the Spatial Planning Service of geoland2 that builds upon the
integration of Earth Observation based information products with socio-economic data into geographical
information procedures, toolsets and models. These derived information products open the way for
analysing demographic developments and urban land take trends and for describing the state of land
consumption and its impact on the environment. The product portfolio consists of a selected set of
policy-relevant land take trend indicators as well as urban growth scenarios to illustrate the benefit of
systematic and geospatially explicit territorial analysis for decision support
LISA: Land information system Austria
FFG , 2009-2012; http://www.landinformationsystem.at/
The aim of LISA is to serve common land monitoring needs providing information on the status quo and
the changes occurring in Austria’s landscape. Thereby LISA enables a wide range of downstream
sectorial applications and user groups (multi-purpose / multi-usage). LISA applies cutting-edge science,
innovative technology and provides cost efficiency by combining space borne Earth Observation data
with high resolution in-situ data, to achieve economies of scale and sustainability of funding through a
shared effort across different administration units.
PopGridEurope: Generating a 1km population grid of Europe including sensitivity analysis
Eurostat contract, 2013;
PopGridEurope aims at the generation of a European wide population grid applying spatial
disaggregation of regional population statistics based on building densities derived from remote
sensing. Validation of the resulting grid is based on register based population data from selected
European countries. Additional tasks comprise a feasibility study on the disaggregation of population
characteristics such as age and sex and a sensitivity analysis regarding disclosure control measures.
CRISMA: Modelling crisis management for improved action and preparedness
EC FP7 collaborative project, 2012-2016; http://www.crismaproject.eu//
CRISMA Integration Project focuses on large scale crisis scenarios with immediate and extended
human, societal, structural and economic, often irreversible, consequences and impacts. Typically,
these crisis scenarios cannot be managed alone with regular emergency and first responder resources,
but require multi-organisational and multi-national cooperation including humanitarian aid.
The CRISMA project shall develop a simulation-based decision support system, for modelling crisis
management, improved action and preparedness. The CRISMA System shall facilitate simulation and
modelling of realistic crisis scenarios, possible response actions, and the impacts of crisis depending on
both the external factors driving the crisis development and the various actions of the crisis
management team. Our contribution to the project focuses on modeling population distribution for
exposure mapping and vulnerability assessment.
