Seminar Description

To forecast climate change impacts and adaptations, there is need for developing improved vegetation monitoring services, which are able to record, quantify and map bio-indicators of vegetation parameters across the globe.

In this context, Earth observation can provide a substantial amount of up-to-date information about the biochemical and structural conditions at a local-to-global scale. Both multi-angular and spectral data, and particularly their combination may lead to new opportunities for space-based monitoring applications.

In this seminar the use of both spectroscopic and multi-angular remote sensing data for vegetation monitoring was presented.

The seminar preceded the PhD thesis defense of Jochem Verrelst.
