Professor Manfredstudied Geology &Palaeontology at the University of Graz/Austria and both Remote Sensing and Cartography at ITC/Netherlands. He obtained his PhD in 1977. In 1982 he went as Fulbright Scholar to the USA (Boulder/Colorado and Stanford University).He is Full Professor and Chair of Cartography at TU Dresden. He also gave invited guest lectures at various Chinese universities and did extensive field research in the Chinese Loess Plateau and Tibet since 1986. Buchroitner both authored and edited several books on cartographic, GIT and remote sensing issues and has more than 400 publications and several educational films to his credit.
