Remote Sensing (WG9)

  • WG9. Remote Sensing

Coordination: Lídia Quental, LNEG
Co-coordination: Pedro Pina, IST; Carla Mora, IGOT; João Catalão, FCUL
Institutions: FCUL, IGOT, IST, LNEG

Working group oriented towards the acquisition and use of remote sensing sensor data on different platforms (satellite, airborne and terrain) for the observation, mapping and monitoring within the scope of geosciences.

Aims at: the identification and integration of inter-institutional competences of remote sensing for application development; conceptualization, development and availability of mapping services for managing geo-resources, environment and emergency situations of geohazards; promotion of activities for integration and validation (multi-source Earth Observation data, terrain data and various analytical instruments); resource optimization for InSAR monitoring of the Earth’s surface; and the development of a national emergency support protocol in the event of natural disasters based on remote sensing.
