This will be the end of this course which is part of SASUF Virtual Exchange granted funding in the beginning of 2023. It will be a hybrid event where the students will present their course projects online, but you are also welcome to Room Triticum @ Campus SLU ALnarp (Sundsvägen 10, Alnarp).

Please sign up for the event here.

More about the course:
Remote sensing and spectral analysis are revolutionizing many aspects of human society, not least when it comes to plants and plant-derived products as well as monitoring of resources and city planning. These novel techniques are making an impact on both plant breeding and precision agriculture. Similar rapid advances for monitoring are seen in food production to ensure quality and safety. In the urban environment, remote sensing and spectral imaging could help to keep
track on the state of highly valuable urban trees, detect heat islands and the distribution of water resources.

This SASUF online course targeting MSc and PhD students associated to the SASUF universities. This event will be a good chance for the general audience to listen in to the course outcomes and more specifically student projects.

Students will present their projects in various aspects of remote sensing as part of this course. Students have previously had 11 lectures over 18 weeks and been led by group mentors. The students will be evaluated by an expert panel.

Keywords: Remote sensing, spectral analysis, agriculture, food safety, urban planning
