Quantitative Fernerkundungsanalyse von Überschwemmungsflächen unter Einbeziehung von Landnutzungsdaten

In the summer of 2011 extreme rain events with unprecedented high precipitation intensities led to extensive flooding and damages within the area of Rostock. While meteorological causes and consequences of these phenomena were discussed in the following period of time, the recent project “KOGGE” pursues the assessment of functionality and hydraulic capacity of small scale rivers. Within the project RapidEye satellite images were acquired prior to and during the precipitation events in 2011, which now serve for retrospect analysis from a remote sensing perspective. Focus is laid on identification of flooded areas based on RapidEye data. Furthermore a DEM and land use data is integrated in the survey, aiming at spatially quantitative evaluation of the flooding events.
