This 3-day interdisciplinary workshop welcomes researchers and experts across communities to tackle knowledge gaps in plastic pollution monitoring that remote sensing could contribute to fill in, address challenges as well as the need to advance the development of space-based and remote sensing techniques to measure plastics, litter and other pollutants in water and its proximity, thereby identifying hot spots for early mitigation strategies.
The workshop is sponsored by The European Space Agency, Future Earth, and the Labex CaPPA through IMT Nord Europe; supported by the international program SOLAS and hosted by the Department of Biotechnology, Chemistry and Pharmacy of the University of Siena, Italy, in the historical settings of the Santa Chiara Lab in Siena city center.
