The NERC Earth Observation Technology Cluster, coordinated by Paul Aplin and Alison Marsh at the University of Nottingham, fosters communication and collaboration in the field of Earth Observation (EO) technology. Covering a spectrum from platform and sensor development to environmental modeling, the cluster serves a diverse community. Notable themes include Low-Altitude UAV EO, LiDAR, and Hyper-Temporal EO. Engage with us through our website for news updates, special interest groups, and upcoming events in terrestrial EO applications.
