The overarching goal of this project is the build-up of expertise in designing and maintaining spatio-temporal databases in the context of data-driven ecological monitoring (software, hardware).

• Case studies. Design and implementation of spatio-temporal databases in the context of ongoing geodata-driven research projects.
• Development of efficient and effective interfaces linking conventional GIS frontends with the latest database technology.
• Development and implementation of analysis pipelines within the spatial database.
• Evaluation of the potential of providing spatio-temporal databases as a service.

• Development of an error propagation approach for multi-temporal UAV-based remotely sensed geodata (raster data).
• Development of a bi-temporal database concept for the management and analysis of historic geodata (vector data).
• Development of novel integration approaches linking GIS-Software with spatial databases.
