- Description
- Geographical Information Systems (GIS) are becoming indispensable tools in Coastal and marine Research and Management. This technology is being used across different disciplines for storing, managing, visualizing or integrating geographical data and information. The Second BeNCoRe Conference provides the opportunity to discuss future developments and new perspectives in the field of Coastal and Marine GIS. During this one-day event, case studies related to submarine mapping systems, Coastal remote sensing techniques and the development of Coastal and Marine Atlases will be presented.
Besides the scientific challenges and relevance, GIS is becoming increasingly popular in decision making. The Conference will show, both at national and European level, how Geographic Information Systems are or could be implemented as reporting tools or used to organize Coastal and Marine Geospatial Information.
Additionally, participants have the opportunity to present research posters and promotion material in the field of Coastal and Marine GIS Research. New techniques and applications form both the scientific community and the private sector can be presented during lunch and coffee in the main conference hall.
