The International Colloquium on Space and Sustainability is a collaboration with NASA to foster discussion in Mexico about the current state of the use of Earth observation technology and its potential applications for sustainability. The colloquium will highlight data from NASA ICESat-2, the Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI), and the Carbon Monitoring System (CMS) initiative and build capacity for its use. The colloquium will bring together an existing community of applied users, as well as potential users from academia, civil society NGOs, private companies and specialized government agencies. Translation services will be offered for non-Spanish speakers.
 

We invite you to join us in Mexico and to help us spread the word with your colleagues!
