Institute of Geo-Hydroinformatics has introduced the new module “Field Measurements for Environmental Studies” offering master students an integrated learning experience that combines theoretical foundations with hands-on environmental field measurements.
Participants receive training in the use of state-of-the-art environmental sensing technologies and measurement instruments for monitoring soil, water, and meteorological variables. Through field experiments conducted at the CampusLAB, students gain practical experience in collecting and analysing environmental data while developing an understanding of the physical processes governing water flow and transport processes in soil. The module also promotes collaborative learning with students working in teams to carry out field campaigns, interpret measurements, and communicate scientific findings.
By integrating theory with real-world field applications, complemented by virtual and augmented reality technologies, the CampusLAB demonstrates its central role in innovative teaching at Hamburg University of Technology. The module strengthens technical, analytical, and scientific communication skills of students while preparing the next generation of environmental scientists and engineers to address challenges related to soil health, water resources, and climate through advanced environmental monitoring.
