Congratulations
๐ Back from #icars2025 in Barcelona!
Our PhD researchers Paloma Toscan and Eduardo Serrano, guided by Prof. Eduardo Pereira, rocked the stage at the International Conference on Advanced Remote Sensing! ๐
๐ก Paloma explored how nature-based solutions help cool down our cities using satellite data.
๐ Eduardo dived into the impact of offshore renewable energy on marine ecosystems through remote sensing.
Huge thanks to the global Earth observation community for the insightful discussions and warm welcome! ๐๐ฌ
