From May 30 – June 01, 2022 in Jena, Germany we organized the EEBIOMASS Summer School in Jena!
This summer school aimed to engage and train you on different dimensions of biomass and Earth observation related topics! Target group of the Summer School were (Early Career) scientists from the fields of Remote Sensing, Forest Management and Earth System Sciences.
