10th Land Webinar
Geomatics Supporting the Ecological, Digital and Energy Transition: Innovative Approaches for Sustainable Urban and Landscape Management
The proposed webinar will serve as the flagship dissemination event for the Special Issue.
It will gather leading researchers working on geomatics, Earth Observation, GIS, UAVs, remote sensing, digital twins, artificial intelligence and spatial modelling to discuss how these technologies support sustainable urban and landscape management.
The ecological, digital and energy transitions require spatially explicit information, integrated environmental assessment and evidence-based decision support. Geomatics has become a cornerstone for climate adaptation, ecosystem restoration, biodiversity conservation, circular economy, risk reduction, resilient infrastructures and sustainable land governance. Advanced Earth Observation programmes, Copernicus services, high-resolution satellite imagery, UAV surveys, GIS analytics, machine learning and digital twins are transforming the capacity of scientists and decision-makers to monitor environmental change and evaluate management scenarios.
Date: 8 September 2026
Time: 3:00 pm (CEST) | 9:00 am (EDT)
