We cordially invite you to attend an online conference school on Remote sensing of vegetation at high latitudes in response to climate change and other disturbances, hosted by the Institute for Space Research (IKI) of the Russian Academy of Sciences in Moscow on 16 and 17 November 2020, between 14:00 and 18:30 Moscow time (11am-3.30pm UK time).
This event is run as a part of the All-Russian Open Conference on Current Issues in Earth Observation from Space, and serves as a conference school for young scientists. It is jointly organised by IKI, M.V.Lomonosov Moscow State University, British Antarctic Survey, and the Scott Polar Research Institute of the University of Cambridge, with support from the Science and Innovation Network of the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office
The conference school will include over ten 30-minute lectures by established scientists from Russia, Britain, Austria and the US, followed by questions and answers. The target audience for these lectures is typically first-year PhD students, although the actual audience will be considerably broader.
There will be also a round table discussion between 17:20 and 18:30 (2:20-3:30pm) on 17 November focused on current projects and future collaboration.
All proceedings will be held in Zoom and accompanied by simultaneous translation in Russian and English.
The registration is free.
