GRSG Annual Conference & AGM 2021:
Progression Towards Quantitative Geological Remote Sensing
12th – 14th December 2021, Online & Live
Our Gold and Silver Sponsors for #GRSG20201 are:
In December of this year, we will once again bring together the GRSG community to explore the wonderful world of geological remote sensing for our 32nd International Conference and AGM, this time under the theme of Progression Towards Quantitative Remote Sensing.
Whilst we all hope that the worst of the COVID pandemic is behind us, these continued uncertain times have meant that we are unable to hold our event in person at the Geological Society as we had planned and this year’s conference will be online.
Also, we would have loved to have met up with those of you who are in London at the time of the conference, but given the recent changes announced by the UK Government, we will have to see you online for our Virtual Social & Quiz on 13th December.
