Pangeos

This is a European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST) network that brings together 610 members from 392 institutions in 53 countries, focused on advancing research and coordination in remote sensing applications for agriculture and forestry within the framework of the EU Green Deal.

Work groups:

1 Field Phenotyping: Sensor Synergies for Biophysical Trait Retrievals. Dr Anshu Rastogi. 344.

2 Precision and Regenerative Agriculture. Dr Offer Rozenstein. 379.

3 Sustainable Land Management of Complex European Landscapes. Dr Holly Croft. 351.

4 Uncertainty Analysis and Standardization. Dr Laura Mihai. 235.

1. Field phenotyping: use of sensors and remote sensing to characterise the structure, biochemistry and phenology of crops and forests, integrating data from UAVs, satellites and aircraft.
2. Precision and regenerative agriculture and forestry: development of predictive models and ‘digital twins’ to optimise resource use and sustainability.
3. Sustainable soil management in complex landscapes: application of big data, cloud computing and time series analysis to manage natural capital, biodiversity and climate change resilience.
4. Uncertainty analysis and standardisation: establishing standard protocols and methods for the validity, uncertainty and interoperability of hyperspectral imaging products.

Led by Dr Shawn Carlisle Kefauver (University of Barcelona – Agrotecnio), who heads the project at European level in collaboration with these researchers.

Organisations from countries such as Estonia, Italy, Spain, Austria, Germany, Belgium and others are participating in the project, which is open to scientists, innovators, farmers, forest managers, industry and policy makers through various working groups. Complete list available here.

PANGEOS is an action funded by COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology), a funding agency for research and innovation networks. COST actions help connect research initiatives across Europe and enable scientific staff to develop their ideas by sharing them with their colleagues. This promotes research, career development and innovation.
