GEOBIA 2010 is an international conference focussing on GEOgraphic Object-Based Image Analysis. GEOBIA 2010 aims to bring together scientists and practitioners from all over the world to present and discuss new developments in GEOgraphic Object-Based Image Analysis. Within this central theme GEOBIA 2010 covers three key topics: * Theory and concepts * Methods and algorithms * Applications: mapping and monitoring GEOBIA 2010 will be more than just a scientific conference on GEOBIA innovations. Respectable Belgian and international remote sensing companies will set up exhibitors’ booths and in the fringe of the conference participants will have the opportunity to take part in hands-on professional workshops organised by two prominent software vendors.
(2010-06-24) On 28 - 29 June 2010 30 students of the Erasmus Mundus Master of Science in Marine Biodiversity and Conservation will be defending their thesis. All students will come to Ghent and exchange experiences about EMBC. Because the whole event uses the latest in video-conferencing techniques, people from anywhere in the world will be able to watch the defense.
The event was made possible by the excellent service offered by the ICT Department of Ghent University.
Conference
'Soil, Climate Change and Biodiversity – Where do we stand?'
Brussels, 23 & 24 September 2010
The Environment Directorate-General and the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission will host a high-level conference on 'Soil, climate change and biodiversity: where do we stand?' in Brussels (Belgium) on 23-24 September 2010.
The conference will see the participation of scientists and researchers who will report on the latest scientific findings concerning issues such as the amount of carbon stored in European soils, the role that agricultural and forestry practices can play in climate change mitigation and biodiversity protection, and the important function that soil biodiversity plays in the ecosystem. Under the title "Soil, climate and biodiversity: synergies and opportunities" a roundtable discussion will gather key policy players from international and European institutions.
The conference will be the occasion to present the study "Soil biodiversity: functions, threats and tools for policy makers" carried out on behalf of the Environment Directorate-General and for launching the European Atlas of Soil Biodiversity being prepared by the Joint Research Centre in view of the tenth Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity in Nagoya later this year.
The conference will inform the debate at European level on the best course of action for supporting the Soil Thematic Strategy and its accompanying legislative proposal adopted by the European Commission in September 2006.
