The XV Portuguese Conference of Polar Sciences aims to showcase the recent advancements made by the national scientific community in the Arctic and Antarctica. The event will feature a presentation on The COASTANTAR 2024 Expedition, as well as the research conducted by scientists from The College on Polar and Extreme Environments (Polar2E).
Yuanyuan Qin, PhD student from Tongji University, doing an internship at CEG/IGOT, shared insights on remote sensing of thermokarst lakes in the ever-changing Tibetan Plateau. Addressing seasonality challenges, this research has the potential to improve remote sensing mapping methods 🛰️🌍 .
Tuesday, we enjoyed an engaging session on Antarctica! Joana Baptista and Vasco Miranda, #ULisboa PhD students, shared their research🔬 on #permafrost and #vegetation in the Antarctic Peninsula🏔️🌿, recounting their past experiences and adventures from their Antarctic campaigns🇦🇶📚

Na Península Antártica, o aquecimento significativo desde os anos 1950 gera mudanças nos ecossistemas. Os projetos #PERMANTAR e #VEGETANTAR da #ULisboa investigam o impacto desse aquecimento na temperatura do permafrost e na vegetação. O PERMANTAR mantém observatórios na região ocidental da Península Antártica para monitorar o permafrost. O VEGETANTAR usa VANTs para mapear a vegetação, auxiliando na criação de mapas temáticos. Os alunos Joana Baptista e Vasco Miranda apresentarão a relação desses projetos com suas pesquisas e experiências nas campanhas antárticas em 24 de outubro pelas 17H30 na sala de conferências Jorge Gaspar no Instituto de Geografia e Ordenamento do Território (#IGOT).
