ABOUT SCERIN

SCERIN (The South, Central and East European Regional Information Network) is one of the regional networks of the Global Observation of Forest and Land Cover Dynamics (GOFC-GOLD) panel of the Global Terrestrial Observing System program for observations, modeling, and analysis to support sustainable development. SCERIN is an informal network of scientists and other professionals based in the region or with scientific interests in the SCERIN area. The SCERIN geographic domain encompasses Central Eastern and South Eastern Europe, the Danube watershed and western Black Sea coast. SCERIN contributes to GOFC-GOLD and had strong linkages with the Northern Eurasia Earth Science Partnership Initiative (NEESPI), as well as the North Eurasia's Future Initiative (NEFI) under the auspices of Future Earth. which are programs of internationally supported Earth System Science research.

SCERIN-10 Workshop

Topic: Recent terrestrial ecosystems LCLU changes and driving forces - challenges for RS and sustainable management

Dates: 26th - 29th June 2023, Brno, Czech Republic

Hosted by CzechGlobe - Global Change Research Institute CAS

Venue location: Institute of Archeology, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic; Čechyňská 19, Brno, Czech Republic

Focus: The SCERIN-10 workshop will focus on the recent terrestrial ecosystem and LCLU changes in SCERIN domain, with the goal to identify their driving forces and consider our ability via remote sensing to monitor their dynamics and address the associated challenges.

1. to inform about ongoing major scientific efforts and projects with possible contribution and follow-up activities of the SCERIN participants;
2. facilitate progress of the ongoing activities of the SCERIN focus groups;
3. review and advance further the network goals, structure (FGs - *see proposed change below) and long-term plans; and
4. foster new ideas for joint activities (new interactive maps and applications) and papers by participants.
