COPAL (Community heavy-payload long endurance instrumented aircraft for tropospheric research in environmental and geo-sciences 1st meeting COPAL Poland Contact person: prof. Kazimierz Furmańczyk Laboratory of Remote Sensing and Marine Cartography, Institute of Marine Science, University of Szczecin Coastal Zone environmet investigation using remote sensing data

Field of our activities: coastal changes and performing coastal protection studies with the use of remote sensing methods coastal changes as a result of an extreme storm events shoreline evolution and coastal dynamics related with sea-level rise and storm risk and its interaction with human activities coastal classification and historical coastal vegetation changes GIS applications to coastal morphodynamics and landscape analysis
