Programme

Both the number and quality of satellite sensors keep increasing dramatically. This results in “Big Data” and calls for smart processing technology in order to turn the data into actionable information. During the Water Days, we shall discuss key issues on capabilities, data integration and quality standards for aquatic earth observation.

The conference includes keynotes, technical presentations, panels and workshops. In addition, in-person participants enjoy an informal exchange during lunch and coffee breaks as well as at the evening events. In 2022, it was held in a hybrid format.

Here is the final Agenda of Day 1 – SDB Day on October, 4th.
And here is the Agenda of Day 2 – Coastal and Inland Waters on October, 5th.
On Day 3 in-person participants were invited to in-depth workshops and open house at EOMAP.

Day 1
SDB Day 2022

Here is the final Agenda of the 4th SDB Day!
Satellite-Derived Bathymetry has become standard in the toolbox of high-class hydrography. But, what about new technology approaches, the need to integrate other data sources and upcoming challenges? – The conference covers exactly these topics.

And here is more info on past SDB Days.

Day 2
From Coastal to Inland Waters

Satellite analytics can benefit managers of manifold aquatic environments. Therefore, we wish to build a bridge from coastal to inland waters this time.

Thus, Day 2  highlights coastal applications, such as shoreline management, and showcases innovative approaches by industry and authorities to monitoring inland waters from space.

Day 3
Open House / Workshops

This part of the conference is designed for interaction and in-depth talks. Therefore, we open the doors of castle Seefeld – EOMAP’s headquarter. Meet software designers, data analysts and other experts in the field of aquatic earth observation. And get “hands-on” with new software tools for Satellite-Derived Bathymetry or water quality.
