COPERNICUS and (hyperspectral) remote sensing for our planet
Ils began working at VITO Remote Sensing in 2000, first as a researcher, then as a project manager and coordinator. Her focus was initially on airborne hyperspectral remote sensing, APEX and EUFAR but is now also oriented towards the use of drones, Sentinel-2 and Sentinel-3 satellites for monitoring our water resources (FP7 INFORM, H2020 DCS4COP, Copernicus Global Land Service, H2020 Monocle, H2020 Water-ForCE, Horizon Europe AQUARIUS).
