| Earth observations for Water-Related Applications, 28-29 March 2018, ANU Canberra | IOCCG SUMMER LECTURE SERIES 2018, VILLEFRANCHE SUR MER, FRANCE | 1st face-to-face meeting of the EOA steering committee, Brisbane | ||||
| March 2018 ANU (Canberra) organised a community workshop around water remote sensing. Objectives were to assess the current state of the art in Australia regarding the use of EO for water-related applications, including water management, economic production, natural hazards and scientific research; to dentify EO investment priorities to meet future data requirements; and to determine where among these priorities Australia appears to have a competitive R&D advantage Read more here |
June/July 2018 RSSRG actively participated to the 2018 IOCCG Summer Lecture Series (Lectures and practicals delivered by D. Antoine and M. Slivkoff). The International Ocean Colour Coordinating Group (IOCCG) Summer Lecture Series is dedicated to high-level training in the fundamentals of ocean optics, bio-optics and ocean colour remote sensing. Since 2012, these advanced training courses have taken place every two years during the summer months, and are held at the Laboratoire d’Océanographie de Villefranche (LOV) in Villefranche-sur-Mer Read more here |
August 2018 D. Antoine participated to the first face-to-face meeting of the EOA steering committee EOA provides a coordinating point for all people in Australia using earth observation data (data derived from images collected using satellite, airborne or any other remote technology platform).
