Introduction
This year's annual UKEOF conference is Sensing the Environment: Emerging Technologies for Monitoring and Decision-Making. The event aims to showcase a diverse range of examples of the application of emerging technologies in environmental monitoring and assessment of interest particularly to environmental policy and academic sectors.
Talks will highlight recent important advances in the development of sensors, sensor networks, molecular techniques and AI systems to quantify and track everything from individual species to ecosystems, inform on risks to human health and develop early warning capabilities to manage natural resources. Recurring issues are likely to include approaches to validation, development of common standards, managing and processing large data streams, the development of sensor networks and ensuring transparency and data accessibility.
We are currently putting together the programme, which will be available here when ready. In the meantime, we recommend subscribing to our mailing list so that we can keep you informed about the event and other UKEOF activities.
