Remote Sensing in the Green Economy: Applications and Opportunities
The drive to monitor and mitigate global climate change, improve energy efficiency, reduce waste, prevent environmental pollution, and protect the Earth’s natural resources is set to create numerous new jobs and substantial wealth for the remote sensing community through a variety of new opportunities, in today’s “green economy”.
This year’s BARSC (British Association of Remote Sensing Companies) workshop, co-sponsored by BNSC (British National Space Centre) and by NCEO (National Centre for Earth Observation) will examine the role of remote sensing in support of the green economy. The day will explore recent developments and achievements in this sector and discuss the opportunities they hold for the UK.
The workshop will be held in London on Thursday 21st May. Attendance at the workshop is free, and includes lunch, but you must register in advance in order to gain entry to the BERR Conference Centre.
To register, please email workshop@barsc.org.uk , giving your name, affiliation and contact details.
