GEO 441.1: Colloquium in Remote Sensing
The colloquium in remote sensing focuses on a variety of remote sensing related topics, or - alternatively - on works showing potential to be used in collaboration with remote sensing based approaches. It serves the purpose of broadening the view on remote sensing related topics as well as fostering international contacts and cooperation.
The colloquium addresses students, staff and visitors interested in remote sensing and related topics. The format of the colloquium is a presentation (approx. 30 - 60 min.) followed by a discussion of approx. 5-15 min. The presentation and discussion language is English.
The colloquium forms part of the MSc curriculum and is embedded in the module GEO 441 (Specialization in Remote Sensing). It takes place in the spring semester (FS2024) and starts on February 20th on Tuesday at 14:00 (CET). Presentations will take place either on site (Y25-H79) or online via this zoom link: https://uzh.zoom.us/j/62711565160?pwd=cWU2cFlMNG9uQWZkckFHUjNabE9OZz09 (passcode: 123456). If presenters agree, on-site presentations may also be live-streamed via the same zoom link. Presentations will not be recorded.
Participation is mandatory for RSL staff and registered students.
