Topic The effects of global change can be seen in the world around us today. But how can we detect these rapidly growing impacts on the environment? And how can we show the changes in time series to detect possible further negative consequences? Satellite images help us to explore the change and even provide us with information that is normally hidden to the human eye. With the help of remote sensing and satellite image technology it is possible to explore earth from a new perspective and to make traces of the global change visible. Using different time series of satellite images allows the monitoring of affected areas.

How do they "build" their reports, technically and in terms of content? What are the differences between radio, newspaper and tv reporters?

Thus they can fell radio a bit more authentically. All host students Heike Lüttich, Ivonne Schowtka
