Core competence
We offer custom-tailored solutions as well as training and consulting services in various fields of applied hydrology and hydrometeorology, e.g. erosion and sediment transport, radar meteorology, early warning, and climate change impact assessment. We maintain and continuously enhance a rich portfolio of advanced technologies, including field observation techniques, remote sensing, as well as numerical simulation models.
