The Annual GRSG Conference and AGM returns to an in-person event!
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 33rd International Conference and AGM!
Obviously, the pandemic interrupted our plans in 2020 and 2021 but in keeping with our philosophy of alternating locations, this year’s conference will be held in the vibrant town of Enschede in The Netherlands at the world famous ITC Faculty Geo-Information Science and Earth Observation.
Thank you to everyone who has submitted papers, now is the time to purchase your tickets!
Please make sure that you purchase the ticket for the events that you would like to attend: tickets for the Conference Dinner and the Spectral Workshop will need to be added to your Conference Attendance ticket.
SPECTRAL WORKSHOP, 11th December 2022
The GRSG is proud to offer a ONE DAY Spectral Geology Workshop in conjunction with the 2022 AGM and Conference.
The day will be led by applied and research earth scientists who have decades of experience in a range of spectral geology techniques. The workshop will consist of an introduction to the theory and application of spectral methods for mineral identification and a hands-on lab session applying spectral processing analytics to a recently acquired high resolution airborne hyperspectral data set covering the VNIR, SWIR, and LWIR remote sensing ranges.
The lab session will utilize the free HypPy hyperspectral processing software and unrestricted use of the sample data.
This is an ideal opportunity to gain ENTRY LEVEL knowledge of and experience with hyperspectral data prior to the conference presentations.
Workshop leaders:
Please note that Workshop tickets are only available to those people attending the conference who will need to purchase a separate ticket. These are available on the Eventbrite page.
Please make sure that you purchase the ticket for the events that you would like to attend: tickets for the Conference Dinner and the Spectral Workshop will need to be added to your Conference Attendance ticket.
SUNDAY 11 DECEMBER, ICEBREAKER RECEPTION
Brewpub Stanislaus (Stadsgravenstraat 59, 7511 ER Enschede) will host the icebreaker reception. This bar/brewery is in the city centre of Enschede in an old church. There will be a cash bar for you to purchase a selection of craft beer, wine, and soft drinks with a finger buffet provided by GRSG.
Join us from 6 pm.
