Lars Groeneveld is a PhD student in the Remote Sensing of Water Systems (RSWS) group. He holds a BSc in Earth Sciences and an MSc in Earth, Surface and Water, specialising in remote sensing and natural hazards at Utrecht University, the Netherlands. After his MSc degree, he worked for a couple of years at several research positions at Utrecht University and WSL, studying environments ranging from glaciology to the bio-geomorphological classification of intertidal areas. His PhD is part of the UrbaNature project, an interdisciplinary project that aims to enhance our understanding of water, carbon, and energy cycles in urban environments, focusing on Basel and Zurich. Lars' role involves improving remote sensing techniques and providing spatial and temporal data. Currently, he is working on reducing the effect of shadows in image spectroscopy.

What excites me most about my work at RSWS is the opportunity to work on a relevant topic, urban vegetation, within an interdisciplinary team. RSWS broadens my perspective on remote sensing by considering all its aspects, from in-situ measurements and radiative transfer to developing practical solutions to benefit society. There is a diverse range of research topics, which creates a collaborative environment where we can support and learn from each other.
