On Thursday 12 December, as part of the activities of TERRAQUA-RS, a bilateral project coordinated by IREA-CNR within the framework of the agreement on scientific cooperation between CNR and MOST (Ministry of Science and Technology, China), Prof. Yuan ZENG and Dr. Zhaoju ZHENG from the Ecosystem Remote Sensing Lab of the Aerospace Information Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Sciences (AIR-CAS) will hold a webinar on the potential and applications of remote sensing for characterising plant diversity.
Through the collection and processing of in situ and remotely sensed data, the “Remote sensing of plant species and functional diversity from terrestrial to aquatic systems” (TERRAQUA-RS) project aims to develop methods for estimating taxonomic and functional diversity from optical spectral data in highly heterogeneous plant communities, ranging from aquatic to terrestrial vegetation (grassland and forest).
The event will be held from 09:30 to 11:30 with live broadcasting at the Lorenzo Busetto multimedia room of IREA Milano (CNR Area Territoriale di Ricerca di Milano 1, Via A. Corti 12 - Milan) and in virtual mode on the Teams platform.
For further information and to register for the webinar, please contact Dr. Paolo VILLA ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ).
