Description
The Earth Sensing Summer School trains early stage researchers and motivated higher education students in using Geomatics approaches for rigorous surveying, processing and representation of spatial data in different environments, from forestry to urban areas, and for different applications, e.g. forest management ecology, hydrogeological risk assessment.
Participants will follow seminars and keynote speakers, survey data in the field with remote and close-range sensors, work on a hands-on assignment, see demos of remote and close-range sensing instruments.
Participants will choose from one of several assignments that tackle different challenges related to different fields, urban - forestry - ecology.
The Earth Sensing Summer School is designed for any motivated student at doctorate level; priority will be given to PhD students and post-docs, but motivated graduate students, young researchers and practitioners are welcome, provided they are passionate about the topics covered.
Registration deadline: 7 March 2025
