Kiev
October 10, 2016 – October 14, 2016
The goal of the Conference is to discuss the prospects of aero- and space-born data utilization for agriculture, natural resources management, sustainable development and security in the context of GEOSS, Copernicus, INSPIRE activities and implementation of the Ukrainian segment of GEOSS (GEO-UA system).
Particular focus of the GEO-UA 2016 Conference will be on Earth observation applications in agriculture in the tasks within projects JECAM, Sen2Agri, SIGMA: crop mapping and identification, crop yield forecasting, crop area estimation, biophysical parameters retrieval, calibration and validation.
