<h2 class="fusion-responsive-typography-calculated" style="--fontsize: 38; line-height: 1.2;" data-fontsize="38" data-lineheight="45.6px">Vom Satellitenbild zur Umweltintelligenz: 20 Jahre EOMAP</h2>
<p><strong>Im Schloss Seefeld bei München entstehen seit 2006 preisgekrönte Erdbeobachtungs-Lösungen. Diese helfen Behörden und Industrie, die Umwelt ganzheitlich zu verstehen und zu schützen.</strong></p>
<p>Seefeld, Deutschland, im November 2026 &#8211; Seit 20 Jahren entwickelt EOMAP aus Seefeld bei München satellitenbasierte Lösungen, vor allem zu Küsten-, Seen- und Flussgebieten. 2006 gründete der Physiker Dr. Thomas Heege, ehemals Wissenschaftler beim Deutschen Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt (DLR), das Unternehmen. Sein Ziel war, Wissenschaft in praktische Lösungen zu überführen. Im Februar 2025 wurde EOMAP Teil des niederländischen Geodaten-Konzerns <a href="https://www.fugro.com/about-us" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fugro</a>.</p>
<h3 class="fusion-responsive-typography-calculated" style="--fontsize: 38; line-height: 1.1;" data-fontsize="38" data-lineheight="41.8px">Von der Adriaküste bis zum Great Barrier Reef</h3>
<p>Drei Pionierprojekte prägen die Firmengeschichte: 2006 kartierte das damalige Start-up per Satellit erstmals <a href="https://eomap.com/pioneering-seagrass-mapping-at-the-italian-coastline-in-2006/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Seegraswiesen vor Brindisi</a> an der italienischen Adria, 2018 entwickelte EOMAP ein weltweites <a href="https://eomap.com/usecases/unesco-ihp-iiwq-world-water-quality-portal/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Wasserqualitäts-Portal für die UNESCO</a>, und 2019 gelang gemeinsam mit australischen Meeresforschern die weltweit erste flächendeckende <a href="https://eomap.com/usecases/3d-live-habitats-for-the-full-extent-of-the-great-barrier-reef/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">3D-Habitatkarte des Great Barrier Reef</a>. Von Innovationskraft zeugen auch die Auszeichnungen, darunter 2023 der Cassini-Preis der EU-Raumfahrtagentur EUSPA für die Plastikmüll-App Eyes on Plastic oder der Bayerische Innovationspreis 2022 für die cloudbasierte Lösung eoapp SDB-Online zur Berechnung von Flachwassertiefen.</p>
<h3 class="fusion-responsive-typography-calculated" style="--fontsize: 38; line-height: 1.1;" data-fontsize="38" data-lineheight="41.8px">Team aus zehn Ländern und acht Disziplinen</h3>
<p>Möglich macht diese Pionierleistungen ein fünfzigköpfiges Team aus zehn Ländern, in dem Fachleute aus Physik, Geodatenanalyse, Softwareentwicklung oder Datenvisualisierung Hand in Hand arbeiten. Der Frauenanteil liegt mit 46 Prozent mehr als doppelt so hoch wie im Branchendurchschnitt. Für Thomas Heege steht die Unternehmenskultur an erster Stelle: „<em>Das Wichtigste war von Anfang an der Aufbau unseres Teams. Wir arbeiten interdisziplinär, kooperativ und mit viel Eigenverantwortung. Diese Kultur ist das Fundament, auf dem 20 Jahre Hightech-Entwicklung und echte Marktlösungen stehen</em>.“</p>
<h3 class="fusion-responsive-typography-calculated" style="--fontsize: 38; line-height: 1.1;" data-fontsize="38" data-lineheight="41.8px">Aus Daten werden Antworten</h3>
<p>Seine Lösungen entwickelt das EOMAP-Team energisch weiter. Erhielten Kunden früher vor allem Daten, so sind es heute zunehmend Software-Lösungen und Informationspakete inklusive 3D-Visualisierung. „<em>Viele Kunden wollen nicht nur Satellitendaten, sondern belastbare Antworten. Unsere Lösungen, teils mit integrierten Chatbots, bereiten Umweltinformationen mundgerecht auf und fördern so rasche und fundierte Entscheidungen</em>“, erklärt Thomas Heege.</p>
<h3 class="fusion-responsive-typography-calculated" style="--fontsize: 38; line-height: 1.1;" data-fontsize="38" data-lineheight="41.8px">Erdbeobachtung im Höhenflug</h3>
<p>2006 war Fernerkundung eine kleine Nische mit gut 150 Unternehmen in Europa. Inzwischen zählt der Branchenverband <a href="https://earsc.org/industry-insights/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">EARSC</a> mehr als 800 Unternehmen, die satellitenbasierte Dienstleistungen anbieten. Auch die Datenbasis wächst stark: Allein zwischen 2014 und 2023 starteten laut Marktforscher Novaspace rund 2.100 Erdbeobachtungssatelliten.</p>
<p>Aus Terabyte an Daten bildet EOMAP digitale Zwillinge ganzer Küstenabschnitte, Seenregionen und Flusseinzugsgebiete. Dabei sind die Algorithmen sensorunabhängig und verarbeiten Daten öffentlicher Missionen wie Copernicus ebenso wie private, etwa von Planet oder Vantor. „<em>Für jede Frage suchen wir die passendsten Sensoren aus, ob öffentlich oder privat. Das macht uns unabhängig und liefert bestmögliche Ergebnisse für unsere Kunden</em>“, sagt Heege.</p>
<h3 class="fusion-responsive-typography-calculated" style="--fontsize: 38; line-height: 1.1;" data-fontsize="38" data-lineheight="41.8px">Pionierarbeit in der Praxis</h3>
<p>In zwei Bereichen gilt EOMAP weltweit als Pionier:</p>
<p><a href="https://eomap.com/services/bathymetry/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bathymetrie</a>. Die satellitengestützte Vermessung der Wassertiefe aus dem All hat EOMAP maßgeblich mitentwickelt. „<em>Wo Untiefen Schiffen gefährlich werden und andere Messverfahren teuer oder riskant sind, liefern Satelliten zuverlässige Daten</em>“, erklärt Dr. Knut Hartmann, kommerzieller Direktor. 2015 druckte der britische Hydrographische Dienst (UKHO) erstmals EOMAP-Daten in eine Seekarte, inzwischen stützen sich rund 50 Seekarten weltweit darauf. Ingenieurbüros nutzen die Bathymetrie- und Seegrundkarten außerdem, um Seekabel sicher und umweltschonend zu verlegen.</p>
<p><a href="https://eomap.com/services/water-quality/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Wasserqualität</a>. Physikalisch basierte Verfahren errechnen aus Satellitenbildern Algenkonzentrationen, Oberflächentemperatur oder Sichttiefe. Beim Fischsterben in der Oder 2022 konnte EOMAP so den Verlauf der Goldalgenblüte zeitlich und örtlich eingrenzen. Wer die App <a href="https://aqua.eoapp.de/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">eoapp AQUA</a> öffnet, sieht das Wichtigste auf einen Blick, die komplexen Analysen laufen im Hintergrund: „<em>Dank eoapp AQUA behalten Umweltbehörden in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern oder Baden-Württemberg ihre Seen und Küstengewässer schnell und tagesaktuell im Blick</em>“, erklärt Karin Schenk, Bereichsleiterin Wasserqualität.</p>
<p>Die Lösungen informieren auch über Küstenveränderungen und natürliche CO2-Speicher wie Seegraswiesen oder Mangrovenwälder und zeigen auf, wo diese künftig am besten vor Erosion und Überflutung schützen. Erst 2025 kartierte das Team mit Fugro Seegras entlang der rund 8.000 Kilometer langen Küste Italiens, die der <a href="https://eomap.com/usecases/seagrass-mapping-in-italy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Umweltbehörde ISPRA gezielten Naturschutz</a> ermöglichen.</p>
<h3 class="fusion-responsive-typography-calculated" style="--fontsize: 38; line-height: 1.1;" data-fontsize="38" data-lineheight="41.8px">Ausblick: Umweltfolgen besser abschätzen</h3>
<p>Künftig will EOMAP verstärkt satellitenbasierte Vorhersagen liefern: „<em>Wir wollen unsere Fähigkeiten in der Umweltfolgenabschätzung und bei Prognosen weiter ausbauen. Organisationen sollen Umweltveränderungen nicht nur im Nachhinein beobachten, sondern besser verstehen und vorhersehen können</em>“, sagt Heege.</p>
<h4 class="fusion-responsive-typography-calculated" style="--fontsize: 30; line-height: 1.2;" data-fontsize="30" data-lineheight="36px">Über EOMAP</h4>
<p>EOMAP, ein Fugro-Unternehmen, nutzt Satelliten, um ein besseres Verständnis der Umwelt und ihrer Veränderungen zu schaffen. Das Team beliefert Behörden und Industrie weltweit, die Wasser bewirtschaften, Infrastruktur planen, Blue Carbon bewerten oder sicher navigieren wollen. Die preisgekrönten Web-Apps der eoapp™-Reihe liefern die wichtigsten Erkenntnisse in wenigen Mausklicks. In den Bereichen satellitenbasierte Wasserqualität und Flachwasser-Bathymetrie ist EOMAP-Technologie weltweit führend. Das 50-köpfige Team fühlt sich den UN-SDGs und Klimazielen verpflichtet und möchte zur nachhaltigen Entwicklung unseres Planeten beitragen.</p>

<p>With EOMAP’s satellite-derived environmental analysis now part of the ecosystem, customers can also</p>
<ul>
<li>assess the <a href="https://eomap.com/eomapdownloads/water-quality-deep-dive/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">water quality</a> of a site in advance</li>
<li>recognise opportunities and challenges for airborne LiDAR bathymetry (ALB) mapping early,</li>
<li>and optimise survey planning before mobilising personnel and equipment.</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="fusion-responsive-typography-calculated" style="--fontsize: 38; line-height: 1.2;" data-fontsize="38" data-lineheight="45.6px">Water clarity details to optimise LiDAR mapping</h2>
<p>Turbid waters can have negative impact on the results of LiDAR mapping campaigns. Thus, knowing about water clarity in advance of mapping campaigns is a clear information advantage: The new service powered by EOMAP&#8217;s water quality team empowers YellowScan Access clients better time successful campaigns. The new tool builds on historical water quality data and trends.</p>

<p><em>“Well in advance of mobilisation, EOMAP’s satellite-derived data informs customers about the expected water clarity at a survey site throughout the year. They can therefore plan their LiDAR campaign for the time with the best expected conditions. Making this tool available through YellowScan Access helps customers to plan and conduct their surveys successfully.”</em> explains Philipp Bauer, Product Owner of eoapp<sup>TM</sup> AQUALITE at EOMAP.</p>

Tourismusregionen können neuerdings die <a href="https://eomap.com/badegewaesser-monitoring/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Wasserqualität</a> je Badestelle tagesaktuell per Satellit sehen. Somit können sie besser und proaktiv kommunizieren.</p>
<h2>Badewasser-Status für Ihre Region</h2>
<p>Ob Familienurlaub, Wassersport oder Erfrischungsstopp auf der Radtour: Für viele Gäste entscheidet die Wasserqualität mit über die Urlaubswahl. Umso schwerer wiegt es, wenn eine Algenblüte überraschend auftritt. Blaualgen können sich binnen weniger Tage bilden, die nächste Beprobung folgt dagegen oft Wochen später. Ein einziges Foto in den sozialen Medien kann aus einem kurzen Ereignis ein Imagethema machen.</p>
<h2>eoapp ALGIQ informiert Tourismusregionen tagesaktuell</h2>
<p>Die Web-Anwendung wertet Satellitendaten aus und verdichtet Sichttiefe, Chlorophyll, Cyanobakterien-Signal und Wassertemperatur zu einem vierstufigen, ampelartigen Algenrisiko-Indikator. Dabei orientiert sich die Skala an einer Empfehlung des Umweltbundesamts. Zudem ist sie ohne Fachwissen verständlich. Dazu kommt die aktuelle Wassertemperatur, eine der meistgestellten Gästefragen überhaupt.</p>
<h2>Die Vorteile für Ihre Destination</h2>
<ol>
<li><strong>Wettbewerbsvorteil: </strong>Nachweislich gute Wasserqualität wird zum Verkaufsargument für Hotels, Wassersportanbieter und die ganze Region.</li>
<li><strong>Fertiger Content-Baustein: </strong>Tagesaktuelle Infos für Gästezeitung, Website und App, ohne Mehraufwand für Ihr Team.</li>
<li><strong>Vertrauen und Reputationsschutz: </strong>Sachlich und frühzeitig informieren, bevor Gäste oder Presse es tun. Das schützt auch Kinder und Hunde.</li>
</ol>
<p>eoapp ALGIQ ergänzt die amtliche Beprobung. Die neue Web-Anwendung schließt die Lücken zwischen den Probeterminen und zeigt viele Badestellen gleichzeitig, auch solche ohne bisherige Überwachung.</p>

<p>Binnen weniger Tage können Cyanobakterien sich explosionsartig entwickeln und ebenso schnell wieder verschwinden. Zwar bleibt die amtliche Beprobung  dafür unverzichtbar. Sie liefert aber naturgemäß Momentaufnahmen an einzelnen Stellen. So bleibt oft unsichtbar, was zwischen zwei Probeterminen passiert.</p>
<h2>Algenrisiko-Indikator für jede Badestelle &#8211; tagesaktuell</h2>
<p>Genau diese Lücke schließt eoapp ALGIQ. Die Web-Anwendung wertet Satellitendaten zur Früherkennung eines Algenrisikos aus. Dazu verdichtet sie Sichttiefe, Chlorophyll, Cyanobakterien-Signal und Wassertemperatur zu einem vierstufigen Algenrisiko-Indikator je Badestelle. Diese Skala folgt der Bewertungsempfehlung des Umweltbundesamts und ist ohne Fernerkundungs-Vorwissen lesbar, ähnlich einer Ampel.</p>
<h2>Die Vorteile für Behörden</h2>
<ol>
<li>Überblick: alle Badestellen und Gewässerabschnitte gleichzeitig im Blick, auch bei Dutzenden Standorten</li>
<li>Zeitgewinn: Ergebnisse in Stunden statt erst mit der nächsten Probenahme</li>
<li>Ergänzung statt Ersatz: die amtliche Untersuchung bleibt bestehen, ALGIQ schließt die Lücken dazwischen</li>
</ol>
<p>Die Daten sind auch für die Kommunikation nach außen nützlich: Ein tagesaktueller Badewasser-Status schafft Transparenz gegenüber Badegästen, Presse und Tourismuspartnern.</p>

<p>Water pollution threatens human health, food supply, and economies. What&#8217;s more, global warming and increased consumption intensify the water stress. Yet,  many regions still lack the monitoring to catch <a href="https://eomap.com/services/water-quality/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">water quality </a>problems early.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s where UNESCO&#8217;s International Initiative on Water Quality (IIWQ) came in. The goal: building capacity and knowledge-sharing on water quality.</p>
<p>In January 2018, at UNESCO Headquarters in Paris, EOMAP launched the IIWQ World Water Quality Portal. It was the world&#8217;s first global water quality portal built entirely on satellite data. Alongside it ran the exhibition &#8220;Satellite-based Water Quality Monitoring&#8221;.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Dr. Thomas Heege, General Director of EOMAP – a Fugro Company, on why this mattered: &#8220;Remote sensing is an efficient and cost-effective tool to assess a variety of physical and biological parameters in aquatic ecosystems over small-scaled and large areas.&#8221;</p>
</blockquote>
<p>The portal provided information on turbidity, chlorophyll-a, suspended matter, and an indicator of harmful algae blooms for any water body worldwide. In addition, it included near real-time updates and historic time series reaching back up to 30 years, which was highly innovative at the time.</p>

Mit eoapp DIVE können Tauchende diese Werte – basierend auf Satellitendaten &#8211; für ausgewählte Tauchspots schon vor dem Sprung ins Wasser abrufen. EOMAP hat diese Web-Applikation im Rahmen des ESA-Projekts „Bluerism&#8221; entwickelt. Darin untersuchen wir die Nutzbarkeit <a href="https://eomap.com/services/water-quality/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">satellitengestützter Daten zur Wasserqualität</a> für den Tauchsport.</p>
<h2>Warum Wasserqualität für Taucher zählt</h2>
<p>Klares Wasser mit guter Sicht macht nicht nur die Unterwasserwelt erlebbar, sondern erhöht auch die Sicherheit während des Tauchgangs. Die Sichttiefe wird dabei von mehreren Faktoren beeinflusst: Sedimentation, Wasserverschmutzung sowie Algen und Wasserpflanzen. Besonders im Fokus stehen dabei <a href="https://eomap.com/badegewaesser-monitoring/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">potenziell schädliche Algenblüten</a>, sogenannte Harmful Algae Blooms (HABs), die immer wieder für Schlagzeilen und Badeverbote sorgen.</p>
<h2>Wie Satellitendaten helfen</h2>
<p>Seit 2006 werten wir bei EOMAP Satellitenbilder aus, um Umweltdaten zu Binnen- und Küstengewässern zu gewinnen. Anders als punktuelle Vor-Ort-Messungen liefern Satellitendaten flächendeckende Informationen über längere Zeiträume – bei guter Datenlage nahezu in Echtzeit. Mit zunehmender Auflösung und Verfügbarkeit von Satellitenaufnahmen wächst auch die Genauigkeit dieser Daten stetig.</p>
<p>Gerade weil sich Gewässer-Ökosysteme durch die globale Erwärmung zunehmend verändern und Algenblüten häufiger auftreten, gewinnen solche Informationen an Bedeutung – auch für den Tourismus.</p>
<h2>Wie die App Tauchgänge optimieren hilft</h2>
<p>In eoapp DIVE fließen Werte zu Algenkonzentration, Trübung, Sichttiefe und Oberflächentemperatur ein, ergänzt durch Informationen zu potenziell toxischen Algen sowie meteorologische Daten zu Tiden, Wellen und Wetter. Damit lassen sich Tauchspots direkt vergleichen: Wo ist die Sicht am besten? Wo ist die Algenbelastung am geringsten? Wo sind die Wellen niedriger?</p>
<p>So können Tauchsportler:innen den passenden Tauchtag gezielt auswählen und ihr Taucherlebnis optimieren.</p>
<h2>Testphase bis Ende November</h2>
<p>Aktuell läuft die kostenlose Testphase für die Flensburger Förde, den Kleinen Belt und den Banter See. Weitere Tauchgebiete können auf Wunsch aufgenommen werden – eine <a href="mailto:wq@eomap.de">kurze E-Mail </a>an das Bluerism-Team von EOMAP genügt.</p>
<p>Wer die eoapp DIVE nutzt, erleichtert nicht nur die eigene Tauchplanung, sondern unterstützt über die integrierte Feedback-Funktion auch die Weiterentwicklung des Tools – und liefert wertvolle Praxisdaten für das Monitoring von Algenblüten und Wasserqualität. Diese Daten werden im <a href="https://bluerism.eu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Projekt Bluerism</a> ausgewertet.</p>
<p>Bis Ende November können Taucherinnen und Taucher sich kostenlos registrieren unter: <a href="https://dive.eoapp.de/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">dive.eoapp.de</a></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Milestone #6 worth celebrating:</strong> The year we became UKHO’s highest-ranked Satellite-Derived Bathymetry (SDB) provider.</p>
<h2>First choice &#8211; twice</h2>
<p>The <strong><a href="https://www.admiralty.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">UKHO</a> </strong>stands at the forefront of global hydrography, enabling safer seas, stronger trade and better ocean stewardship. In, UKHO selected EOMAP as their top-ranked SDB framework provider for the first time – a milestone that put our satellite analytics on British ADMIRALTY Navigational Chart 2066 of Southern Antigua.</p>

<h2>Seven years later, in 2022, UKHO once again ranked us first, a position that remains in effect today.</h2>
<p>Some further years later now, other hydrographic offices use our SDB solutions for nautical charting purposes. Meanwhile, EOMAP SDB has been integrated into about 50 nautical charts globally.</p>
<h2>SDB for modern hydrography</h2>
<p>Traditional vessel-based surveys struggle with shallow, remote, or ecologically sensitive areas. SDB bridges that gap – cost-effectively, non-intrusively, and at scale.</p>
<blockquote><p>As <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/knuthartmann/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Knut Hartmann</strong></a>, EO Service Line Manager at EOMAP, a company, puts it: &#8220;For us, this contract and the sound competitive evaluation procedure is a proof of trust in the quality of our satellite analytics. Moreover, it shows that our SDB technology is a must-have in the toolbox of modern hydrographers and surveyors, when it comes to mapping shallow waters.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Beyond hydrography, these shallow water grids serve coastal zone managers, planners, and engineers around the world.</p>

<p>These world-first digital maps of thousands of coral reefs were a key step towards identifying, managing and essentially preserving this global marine icon.</p>
<h3>Bathymetry maps covering 350.000 km²</h3>
<p>Back in 2013, we were part of a true breakthrough. In collaboration with leading German and Australian scientists, we delivered high-resolution, <a href="https://eomap.com/services/bathymetry/">satellite-derived bathymetry</a> maps covering the entire Great Barrier Reef.</p>
<p>For the first time, this ecosystem covering ~350,000 km² and thousands of individual reefs, was mapped consistently from space.</p>
<h3>The challenge: Mapping shallow and remote waters</h3>
<p>In general, traditional approaches using vessels or airborne surveys were (and still are) limited by cost, logistics, and accessibility. Especially in shallow or remote reef areas, these methods can be challenging.</p>
<p>For decades, nearly half of the Great Barrier Reef’s shallow-water reef areas had remained unmapped due to remoteness and navigational challenges.</p>
<h3>Large-scale reef mapping from space</h3>
<p>However, EOMAP helped change this. Without any vessel or aircraft support, this world-first dataset with 30-m-resolution provided a complete 3D picture of the planet’s largest coral reef ecosystem. It enabled more effective environmental management. This included water quality modelling to predicting climate change impacts, such as sea level rise and cyclone activity.</p>
<p>Beyond science, the project bridged a crucial gap: It offered both detailed local insights and a comprehensive system-wide view to governments, researchers, and industry alike. Back then, partner Stuart Phinn from the <a href="https://www.uq.edu.au/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">University of Queensland</a> stated: &#8220;<em>This information is regarded as essential for any government or company involved with managing the reef environment</em>.&#8221;</p>
<p>Apart from the University of Queensland, EOMAP partnered with <a href="https://www.jcu.edu.au/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">James Cook University</a> and the <a href="https://frontiersi.com.au/crcsi-a-legacy-of-achievement/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Australia Cooperative Research Centre for Spatial Information</a> in this project.</p>
<p>Until today, we continue providing non-invasive, cost-effective technology to protect irreplaceable <a href="https://eomap.com/markets/environment-and-resources/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ecosystems</a>.</p>
