Conference Detail

The acquisition and analysis of Earth Observation data through satellite, airborne, shipborne and ground-based methods is a major activity in the academic, commercial and public sectors in Ireland. The potential offered by these technologies to deliver solutions to contemporary problems is leading to the development of innovative application and stimulating Ireland’s knowledge economy.
