We are excited to invite you to join a seminar focused on the topic of Land Cover/Land Use (LULC) mapping and change monitoring using remote sensing.

In an era where sustainable development and environmental conservation are of utmost importance, understanding and accurately mapping LULC and its changes are essential endeavors. Over the past few years, significant progress has been made in the field of LULC mapping and change monitoring. Our seminar aims to delve into the recent advancements and innovative methodologies in LULC monitoring. Some ongoing research at Wageningen in this area will be discussed.
