About
Maximilian Brell is a leading figure in the field of hyperspectral remote sensing, with a primary focus on the calibration, validation, and atmospheric correction of spaceborne imaging spectroscopy data. His research is pivotal to ensuring the scientific utility of next-generation satellite missions, particularly the German Environmental Mapping and Analysis Program (EnMAP). Brell’s major contributions include the first extensive, multi-site evaluation of EnMAP’s water-leaving reflectance products, a critical step for aquatic science applications. His work in the Atmospheric Correction Inter-Comparison eXercise (ACIX-III) provides an essential benchmark for assessing and improving the accuracy of atmospheric correction processors for both EnMAP and the Italian PRISMA mission. By rigorously testing these algorithms over both land and water targets, Brell directly enhances the reliability of derived bio-geophysical products, from water quality to vegetation health. With his most cited paper—a comprehensive mission evaluation—garnering early attention, his work is foundational for the operational success of global hyperspectral monitoring.
