Research 

The use of land and sea space is under pressure from population growth, economic development and climate change, and needs to be regulated by knowledge-driven spatial planning relying on high-quality data, innovative analytical tools and models.

The research group covers spatial planning, land management, maritime spatial planning, climate change, migration modelling, land-cover change, citizen science, mobilities studies, digital governance, urban structure and living, SDI, satellite positioning, geodesy, remote sensing, cadastral systems, and real property formation.

Key results

• Promote the use of Galileo in Denmark and stimulate the use of precise satellite-based positioning, navigation, and timing, mobility, and UAVs.
• Promote the use of more sustainable mobility solutions.
• Insights about future land/maritime resources, population/migration patterns, citizen involvement in environmental monitoring and decision making.

Collaboration

Who benefits from our research?

Most of our research is funded by the EU with an international scope.
Besides the EC, the users are environmental analysts, practitioners, and decision/policy makers aiming at addressing societal challenges (SDGs).
