Earth Observation in the raw material sector
8 - 9 June 2021
EIT RawMaterials, HIF@HZDR, INFACT and TheiaX offered a two-week digital event dedicated to the use of Earth Observation data for the raw material sector.
The Earth Observation in the Raw Materials Sector was a 2-weeks event consisting of 2 short courses running in parallel and culminating with a user forum. The first course, organised by EIT RawMaterials, introduces Earth Observation data processing for beginners. The second series of events is organised by the Helmholtz-Institute Freiberg for Resource Technology (part of Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden Rossendorf (HZDR)), a start-up, TheiaX, and the H2020 project INFACT. It gave the attendees the opportunity to learn about sustainable exploration, drill-core scanning as well as machine learning methods for Earth Observation.
