Johannes Reiche is an associate professor and remote sensing scientist with 11 years of research experience focused on radar-based monitoring of forests and global environmental change. Based at Wageningen University & Research, he develops smart methods to extract timely, accurate information from satellite data to reveal how human activities drive ecosystem dynamics. His career traces a continuous progression from research assistant through PhD and postdoc to faculty, reflecting deep expertise in radar remote sensing and environmental monitoring. Johannes blends rigorous academic training with applied algorithm development, often bridging physics-based understanding and practical monitoring needs for policy-relevant insights. An attention to operationalizing satellite analysis for real-world change detection distinguishes his work beyond pure theory.

Set of tools to apply the probabilistic approach of Reiche et al. (2015, 2018) to combine multiple optical and/or Radar satellite time series and to detect deforestation/forest cover loss in near real-time. The package includes functions to apply the approach to both, single pixel time series and raster time series. Examples and test data are provided below.
