On 13 July 2023, MDPI and IJGI, Remote Sensing, Drones and Land co-organized a Topics webinar EO&GEO Series: UAV Remote Sensing for LULC, Landscape, Citizen Sciences. The webinar focused on the more innovative applications of UAVs in environmental research and management.

A message from Prof. Rui Alexandre Castanho, the webinar Chair:

We find ourselves in a world where the exchange of knowledge, ideas, and experiences has become increasingly vital. Webinars like this provide an invaluable opportunity for us to collaborate, learn, and explore new frontiers together. Additionally, I would like to express my gratitude to the organizing committee for their tireless efforts in putting together this event.
