                                              Knowledge-sharing workshop


Knowledge-sharing workshop on Forest Above-ground Biomass Assessment using SAR Remote Sensing was successfully held last week. I had one crazy whirlwind day trying to introduce SAR and SAR remote sensing to the participants, condensed in 3 hours. Thanks to the GREL team which managed and organized the workshop very nicely.

The main pollutant responsible for smog built up is NOx. Historically, the most lethal smog was the London’s Great Smog in 1952, when more than 12,000 deaths were repor...
