International Workshop on Earth Observation for Early Warning of Land Degradation at European Frontier (EWALD)


Land degradation is the world's greatest environmental challenge affecting the environment, agriculture, and human well-being. Intensified by natural disasters and desertification, land degradation may present potential risks and socioeconomic tension. The workshop proposes a platform for the discussion of relevant trends in the Early Warning System, responses to land degradation, and innovative geo-informational frameworks and solutions.

  • Earth Observation for Early Warning of Land Degradation at European Frontier (EWALD), European Union's Framework Programme for Research and Innovation Horizon Europe - the Framework Programme for Research and Innovation (2021-2027), grant no. ID 101086250;
  • Risk assessment of environmental disturbance using Earth observation data, Slovak Research and Development Agency, grant no. SK-UA-21-0037.
