About
Peter Gege is a leading figure in the field of hyperspectral remote sensing, with a particular focus on the calibration, validation, and atmospheric correction of spaceborne imaging spectroscopy data. His work is foundational to the success of the German Aerospace Center’s (DLR) Environmental Mapping and Analysis Program (EnMAP) mission. Gege’s major contributions include establishing rigorous radiometric traceability for satellite sensors, as demonstrated in his 2013 work (17 citations) detailing the calibration of DLR’s RASTA standard in collaboration with the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB). More recently, his 2024 study (7 citations) provided the first comprehensive assessment of EnMAP’s water-leaving reflectance products, evaluating three different atmospheric correction processors across 17 diverse water sites—a critical step for ensuring the mission’s utility for aquatic science. This work directly supports EnMAP’s ability to monitor water quality and coastal ecosystems. With a career spanning decades, Gege has also made notable contributions to the development of the Modular Inversion Program (MIP) for water constituent retrieval. His research is essential for researchers and students working in satellite oceanography, limnology, and environmental monitoring, ensuring that high-quality, traceable data is available for global change studies.
