Research Area 4 "Simulation and Data Science"

Hauptinhalt der Seite
​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Extensive landscape data must be generated, analysed and made available for agricultural landscape research. Innovative developments in other research areas in the generation of spatial data (e.g. local and remote sensing) and in the analysis and processing of large amounts of data (e.g. big data approaches) also offer excellent opportunities for agricultural landscape research to systematically use ever larger amounts of data and optimally integrate them into relevant research programmes. In addition, numerical modelling and simulation are a central component of research. At ZALF, the focus is particularly on the interactive and simple use of models and methods for analysing processes in agricultural landscapes. The "Simulation and Data Sciences" programme area is developing a coherent concept for the integration of data, models and simulation methods for landscape research, right through to a landscape theory.
