SPARSE International Workshop: Surface Plastic Remote Sensing – a way forward for the detection of marine litter and floating matter

28-30 May 2025

This three-day interdisciplinary workshop hosted by SOLAS at the University of Siena, Italy, will advance the study of marine litter and floating matter using remote sensing and space-based approaches. It welcomes researchers and experts across communities to tackle knowledge gaps in plastic pollution monitoring from land-to-sea, identifying opportunities and intervention measures for early mitigation strategies.
Abstracts and registration deadline: 15th March 2025. Low student rate, full support available for low and low-middle-income countries.
