PhD Opportunities in Remote Sensing in Turkey

The E-SEAL Lab in the Department of Biological Sciences at the National University of Singapore is recruiting PhD students, research assistants and postdoctoral researchers for two upcoming projects. The projects focus on ecosystem services modelling, land-use change modelling, crop modelling and the assessment of nature-related risks for businesses. The work brings together environmental science, environmental economics, business sustainability and global environmental change, with quantitative...

The University of Exeter is offering a fully funded PhD opportunity in Computer Science for a prospective student from China interested in machine learning, Earth observation and forests. The project, “Improving confidence in continuous forest type classification maps when ground truth data are scarce,” will investigate computational approaches for producing more reliable forest classification maps in situations where labelled ground-truth data are limited. The research brings together machine l...

PhD project in Arctic landscape change at the University of Gothenburg, led by Jakob Assmann in the Spatial Ecology & Arctic Change research area. The project will investigate how Arctic landscapes are changing by combining drone imagery, satellite imagery, machine learning and artificial intelligence. The research sits at the intersection of remote sensing, data science and Arctic environmental research, offering an opportunity to develop and apply computational approaches to the study of spati...

The LEGASYS Lab at Utah State University is recruiting motivated MS and PhD students for a UtahView-funded graduate research project on historical land-use and landscape changes across Utah. The project brings together remote sensing, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), and geospatial artificial intelligence (GeoAI) . Students will work with historical aerial photography and satellite imagery, applying geospatial programming and spatial analysis to investigate how landscapes have changed over ...

This PhD project is part of TWIG, a five-year ERC Starting Grant focused on tropical forest biomass flows that are usually missed by conventional inventories. The work combines repeated terrestrial laser scanning with long-term forest monitoring to directly quantify damage, recovery, and biomass redistribution in mature tropical forests. The doctoral researcher will study the environmental and biological drivers of tree-level biomass changes and the ecological consequences of small-scale disturb...

This EngD project at the University of Twente focuses on building AI methods for detecting underground infrastructure in ground penetrating radar (GPR) radargrams and estimating burial depth. The work builds on high-quality GPR data from the university’s Utility Mapping Site (UMS) , a dedicated test environment for utility mapping technologies. You will work on systematically collected and accurately annotated GPR datasets to develop and validate machine learning models that improve automated in...

[Annual stipend at the UKRI minimum rate currently £21,805 per year plus £1,000 per year enhancement, and a research training support grant of up to £20,000 for the full 4-year programme.] This 4-year PhD project at The University of Manchester focuses on the use of geospatial foundation models to improve the monitoring of smallholder agricultural systems from satellite data. The work sits at the intersection of Earth Observation , remote sensing , and agricultural mapping, with an emphasis on u...

The University of Exeter is offering a fully funded PhD project exploring a different dimension of interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR): the use of InSAR loop closure to understand and monitor soil moisture and vegetation dynamics. The research will combine Sentinel-1 C-band and NISAR L-band satellite observations with physical, statistical and data-driven modelling. The PhD researcher will investigate how changes in soil moisture and vegetation affect InSAR loop-closure signals, and...

Elise Jakoby Laugier is recruiting an MS or PhD student to join the LEGASYS Lab at Utah State University in research spanning remote sensing, GIS, and geospatial artificial intelligence . The student will contribute to a UtahView-funded project investigating historical land-use and landscape change in Utah. The research will draw on historical aerial photography and satellite imagery, combining geospatial programming with applied remote sensing methods. Potential research activities include mach...
