Lenart Štaut graduated at the Department of Geography at the Faculty of Arts, University of Ljubljana in 2018 with a topic about remote sensing. In 2021, he received his master's degree in Environmental and Physical Geography, Applied Geoinformatics. He was employed at the Department of Geography as a cartographer for one year, and since 2022 he has been a junior researcher at the Anton Melik Institute of Geography. He deals with remote sensing and spatial data processing. In his doctoral dissertation, he uses modern methods of remote sensing combined with fieldwork to study overgrowth on cultural terraces in Slovenia.
The young researcher is engaged in remote sensing, the use of satellite data and LiDAR surface scanning data and is a member of the Department of Geoinformatics. In his work, he uses geographic information systems to process and display this data. In his doctoral dissertation, he studies the characteristics of the overgrowth of cultural terraces in various landscape tpyes in Slovenia. He created a layer of remotely sensed cultural terraces in Slovenia. At the institute, he participates in various projects j6-60099, L6-60160, J6-50214, J6-4627. He is a member of the organizing and editorial board of the biennial sympossium GIS in Slovenia and editor of the Geographical Atlas of Natural Disasters (GANNS®). As a secretary, he is also a member of the Executive Board of the Ljubljana Geographical Association. In further research, he wants to continue studying remote sensing methods and expand knowledge about the characteristics of cultural terraces in Slovenia.
