Estonian remote sensing day 2022

Estonian research results in the field of remote sensing have received recognition and use in the wider world. Remote Sensing Day brings together Estonian remote sensing community to give an overview of the latest scientific and application developments in this field. The aim of the conference is to increase cooperation within the community and raise awareness of the possibilities of using space data and technologies.

The Estonian remote sensing community traditionally meets every two years since 2005. This time we meet again at UT Tartu Observatory in Tõravere. The day is organized by the Tartu Observatory of the University of Tartu in cooperation with the Estonian University of Life Sciences and the Environmental Agency.

Presentations start at 10 a.m. and last until 4 p.m.
The day begins with a welcome coffee at the Tartu Observatory from 9:30 a.m.

Registration is over.

The conference will be held in a hybrid format (on-site and virtually), and the live stream can be watched on UTTV.

The presentations will be published later in electronic article collection "Kaugseire Eestis 2022".
You can find the previous publications here.
