DINOSAR at the 9th International Workshop on Retrieval of Bio- & Geo-Physical Parameters from SAR Data For Land Applications

18–20 November 2026 · Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, Barcelona

DINOSAR will be present at the 9th International Workshop on Retrieval of Bio- & Geo-Physical Parameters from SAR Data for Land Applications, organised by ESA and held on 18–20 November 2026 at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya in Barcelona.

The workshop brings together researchers working on radar remote sensing for land applications, including land use, classification and change detection, with a focus on agriculture, forestry, soil moisture, hydrology and snow. Round table discussions will contribute to defining a global strategy for robust, operational SAR applications that address real-life societal needs. The programme also looks at the auxiliary data products, from other satellites, ground-based networks or climate and forecast models, that SAR exploitation requires.

DINOSAR will be represented by Victor Cazcarra-Bes (University of Alicante), who will present the poster:

Exploring BIOMASS P-band Sensitivity to Crops: Preliminary Results over Sugarcane

Poster session: Wednesday 18 November 2026, 17:00–18:00

Drawing on sugarcane field data available through DINOSAR, the study explores the potential and limitations of ESA’s BIOMASS P-band radar observations for assessing crop development. It presents preliminary results from Colombia’s Cauca Valley.
