"Surveying the GEOsphere"

The 5th International Workshop of the European Association of Remote Sensing Laboratories (EARSeL) Special Interest Group "Geological Applications" will take place in Warsaw Poland, on June 19-20 2014 in conjunction with the 34th EARSEL Symposium "European remote sensing - new oportunities for science and practice" June 16-20-2014.

The 2014 workshop in Warsaw is the fifth in a series of workshops organised by the EARSeL SIG during the last years. Previous workshops were held in Warsaw (2006), Bosen (2007), Istanbul (2008) and Mykonos (2012).
