Listen to Episode ONE ofThe high-flyers” – the official podcast of the WINMOL project. Nicole Albert and Stefan Reder present their findings and research results on the topic of storm damage in forests in three episodes of “Die Überflieger”. With the help of drones and satellite data, they analyse affected forest areas from a bird’s eye view. The challenges and opportunities are discussed and the significance of the findings for the management of forest stands and for forest protection are highlighted. Whether you are a forest manager, forest lover or simply curious, this podcast offers you exciting insights into the world of forest ecology and remote sensing.

In the first episode of the podcast, we take the time to understand the basics. We look at the importance of our forests to us humans and our planet and explain the risk factors that contribute to storm damage.

Die Überflieger was created as part of the project “WINMOL – Recording and forecasting storm damage in forests” and was funded by the Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture and the Agency for Renewable Resources.

The podcast is in German only.
