• Oil & Gas
• Big Data and Thematic Exploitation Platforms
• Planetary science & comparative geomorphology
• Geohazards
• Geological applications (geological mapping, lithological classification, tectonics, seismology)
• Geomorphology
• Terrain, Bathymetry and Elevation models
• Classification, multi-temporal analysis and modelling
• New sensors: Sentinel applications, technological developments, analytical methods & algorithms
• Hyperspectral & Multispectral
• Radar / InSAR

Planetek Italia as a member of GRSG participatde as sponsor and showcasing, between others, its latest developments in:

• The performance of a processing software of remotely sensed data using the processing capacity of the GPU (graphics processing unit)
• Detection and monitoring of landslides in the management of infrastructures and urban areas
