SEEDS Seminar Series: Applied Remote Sensing for Agriculture

Explore practical applications with experts in satellite technology for agriculture.

The Satellite-Enabled Earth Observation & Digital Solutions for Agriculture (SEEDS) seminar series brings together experts from Harvard University, UMD, NASA, the World Bank, NASA Harvest and the University of Montana’s Numerical Terradynamic Simulation Group (NTSG) to explore real-world applications of remote sensing for agriculture.

The seminar series will take place online from 9 a.m. to noon EDT, starting Oct. 14 to 17. The agenda features sessions on:

• Crop Mapping: Explore current satellite-based techniques for mapping crops.
• Yield estimation: Learn about methods for estimating crop yields using Earth observation data.
• Drought monitoring: Understand remote sensing tools for monitoring and managing drought conditions.
• Integration of Earth Observation Data: Discover how Earth observation data is being integrated into digital agriculture solutions.

This seminar series is co-organized by 6th Grain and the University of Maryland and hosted online by UMD's International Center for Innovation in Geospatial Analytics and Earth Observation (IntGeo Center).
