Keynote lecturer: Full. Prof. Geoffrey M. Henebry
Michigan State University, Department of Geography, Environment, and Spatial Sciences & the Center for Global Change & Earth Observations, United States of America
Geoff Henebry is a tenured full Professor with split appointment between the Department of Geography, Environment, and Spatial Sciences and the Center for Global Change and Earth Observations at Michigan State University. His research interests are broad, but a recurrent theme is the use of remote sensing and geospatial technologies to study environmental patterns and processes, including quantitative analysis and modeling of land surface phenology and land cover land use change.

Keynote lecturer: Imelda Somodi Ph.D
Institute of Ecology and Botany, Centre for Ecological Research, Hungary
Imelda Somodi is a senior scientific associate in the Large-scale Vegetation Ecology Research Group at the Institute of Ecology and Botany, Centre for Ecological Research in Hungary. Her main research interest lies in long-term vegetation dynamics, from within-community dynamics to the changes in the distribution of vegetation types at the extent of the country and beyond. The current focus of her research activities includes: theoretical foundation of the potential natural vegetation (PNV) concept; methodology of PNV modelling; as well as assessment of PNV both for present conditions and for various scenarios of land use and climate change.
