Presentations at European Geoscience Union

The Environmental Remote Sensing Group contributed to the General Assembly of the European Geosciences Union (EGU). EGU usually takes place in Vienna every year in spring. This year it was held online because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

We contributed to EGU with two presentations and organized two scientific sessions.

Scientific presentations
