Spring School on “Advanced remote sensing techniques for risk management”
Info
Goals and objectives The PhD school on “Advanced remote sensing techniques for risk management” aim at introducing the attendees to the development and implementation of new, innovative and advanced remote sensing techniques to improve capabilities in characterizing risk components such as hazard, vulnerability and exposure by means of hyperspectral image analysis, advanced SAR processing, machine learning and cloud computing for remote sensing, and geostationary satellites data processing. The PhD school will be supported by EU H2020 EOXPOSURE. It will consist of three days of theoretical and practices sessions focused on tools and application examples, and two days of EOEXPOSURE open workshop to present conferences and tutorials related to risk, vulnerability and exposure applications. To this aim, the school and the EOXPOSURE event will bring together leading researchers from academic institutions, data providers and industry end users.
