The CyCLOPS team has strongly participated at the 44th IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium – IGARSS 2024 (https://www.2024.ieeeigarss.org/), took place in Athens, Greece between 07.07.2024-12.07.2024. Totally three (3) research studies were presented through oral and poster presentations. IGARSS 2024 was hosted by the National Observatory of Athens – Operational Unit “BEYOND Centre of Earth Observation Research and Satellite Remote Sensing” of Institute for Astronomy, Astrophysics, Space Applications and Remote Sensing, with the support of the National Technical University of Athens and the Foundation for Research and Technology – Hellas. Under this year’s theme “Acting for Sustainability and Resilience”, IGARSS 2024 anticipated to stimulate enlightening debates for opening science and innovation, towards the creation of innovative solutions for the benefit of societies. The audience exceeded 2.500 esteemed scientists and professionals in the Remote Sensing field worldwide, contributing to the exchange of views, sharing of experiences and the training of younger scientists, opening new perspectives for research development and investments in the sector.
Dr. Chris Danezis, Associate Professor at CUT, Head of the CyCLOPS Strategic Infrastructure Unit and Coordinator of the CyCLOPS+ (RIF/SMALLINFRASTRUCTURES/1222/0082) project, gave an oral presentation entitled “Enhancing Geohazard Resilience in Cyprus: The CyCLOPS+ Integrated GNSS and InSAR Strategic Monitoring Infrastructure”. He had the opportunity to promote CyCLOPS Strategic Infrastructure Unit, highlighting the importance and benefit for Cyprus from the establishment of the Cyprus Ground Motion Service (CyGMS).
Dr. Dimitris Kakoullis, Researcher at the CyCLOPS+ project and member of the CUT Laboratory of Geodesy, presented orally his research activities and findings through the “Point Target Data Analysis for The Sentinel-1A Quality Assessment Using the CyCLOPS Strategic Infrastructure in Cyprus”.
Mrs. Kyriaki Fotiou, Research Associate A’ at the Resilient Society Department of Eratosthenes Centre of Excellence, PhD Candidate and member of the CUT Laboratory of Geodesy launched her findings in a poster presentation format entitled “Investigating the Absolute Velocity Estimation of an Active and Fast-Moving Landslide Using Integrated Satellite-Based Techniques: The Case Study of Pissouri Village in Cyprus”.
It must be noted that following the presentations, the members of the CyCLOPS+ project had the opportunity to exchange ideas with other scientists, network with the participants and inform them about the CyCLOPS+ project and the CyCLOPS Strategic Infrastructure Unit and engage future collaborations.
