Pre-conference Workshop: Remote Sensing in Geosciences

Information:  

The pre-conference workshop will focus on the application of remote sensing technology in geoscience research and the processing of various data sources, such as satellite images from Sentinel-1, Sentinel-2, LANDSAT, LiDAR point clouds, and drone images.

Workshop program is focused on:

  • Basic theory on the application of remote sensing data in geomorphology
  • Processing and downloading optical and radar satellite data from free and open-access sources
  • SNAP software and processing of satellite and radar data
  • Processing and analyses of point cloud data generated from aerial LiDAR, drone LiDAR and SfM photogrammetry
  • Classification of remote sensing data and different approaches (QGIS, Python libraries)
  • Interpretation and process-based evaluation of remote sensing data with application in geomorphology

The workshop is free of charge and is limited to university students, PhD students, and young researchers up to 35 years old (postdoc). Participants are required to bring their own laptop. In the case of full capacity, priority will be given to students according to the date applications are received.
