Welcome to the Department of Geoinformatics – Z_GIS

Pictore of Lorena AbadObituary notice – Lorena Abad Crespo †

We mourn the loss of our colleague and friend Lorena Cristina ABAD CRESPO, who died tragically, far too early and completely unexpectedly in a tragic cycling accident on 2. May 2025 at the age of 31.

Lorena was not only a brilliant young scientist, but also an extraordinary person. Highly motivated, competent, creative and full of joy, she left a lasting impression with her warm and positive manner – on colleagues, students and project partners alike.

We will miss Lorena dearly and remember her fondly – for her laughter, her passion, her humanity and her tireless efforts to make the world a better place.

Our condolences go out to her partner, her family, her friends and everyone who was lucky enough to know her.
