Virtual Quantitative Summer School Unveils Cutting-Edge Remote Sensing Insights

The International GEO-Innovation Center is organizing the 2nd International Quantitative Remote Sensing Summer School from June 28 to July 3, in cooperation with the School of Remote Sensing and Information Engineering of Wuhan University, the Quantitative Remote Sensing Research Center of Wuhan University and the Department of Geography at the University of Hong Kong.

This free virtual summer school will feature talks by global experts in remote sensing. The talks will focus on quantitative remote sensing theories and methods, recent advances in research and applications covering a range of topics including atmospheric remote sensing, land cover mapping, agricultural monitoring, remote sensing of fires, vegetation monitoring, hydrological remote sensing and big data processing.

When: June 28 - July 7, 2023
Time: 8:00 – 10:35 a.m. EDT (with some talks at other times)
