#32 Weekly Remote Sensing and Geoscience news!
EGU 2023 Special Edition - A recap
This newsletter issue will be a little bit different than usual. This week I attended the EGU 2023 in Vienna and I did a recap of what happened there and I shared interesting talks and sessions that I've attended in order to make science more accessible for those who - for some reason - did not attend the conference this year.
I hope you all enjoy it!

The EGU General Assembly 2023 is a gathering that unites geoscientists worldwide for a single event that encompasses every aspect of Earth, planetary, and space sciences. The EGU's objective is to establish a platform where scientists, particularly those who are just starting their careers, can showcase their research and exchange ideas with professionals in every geoscience field.
➡️ Here are some numbers about the EGU 2023:
My first presentation ever at EGU
I attended the EGU for the first time and had the opportunity to present a portion of my PhD research. The presentation's title was "Remote sensing approaches for LULC change detection in coastal areas and oceanic islands: a systematic review".
During my presentation, I delved into the topic of remote sensing and its importance in detecting and monitoring changes in land use and land cover in coastal areas and oceanic islands. The research I presented was a systematic review that evaluated the effectiveness of various remote sensing techniques in detecting these changes.

After my presentation, attendees had the opportunity to enjoy a game that my co-author, Jéssica Uchôa, and I created especially for the EGU 2023.
The game, called "LULC Memory Game", challenged visitors to match satellite images of coastal areas or islands before and after a specific event or time period in which noticeable changes occurred.
The game aimed to raise awareness of the importance of remote sensing in detecting changes in land use and land cover. It was a fun and interactive way to engage with conference attendees and showcase our research to a wider audience.
