POLINSAR & BIOMASS 2023

11th International Workshop on Science and Applications of SAR Polarimetry and Polarimetric Interferometry and BIOMASS Workshop

Background

The European Space Agency is organising the 11th International Workshop on Science and Applications of SAR Polarimetry and Polarimetric Interferometry, PolInSAR & Biomass.

The workshop will be held at Espaces Vanel Toulouse, France (https://www.espacesvanel.com/en) on the following dates:
11th PolInSAR & Biomass Workshop: 19 – 23 June 2023
