Aims and Scope

The "Fibre Optic Sensing in Geosciences" Galileo Conference aims to bring together all communities developing and benefiting from fibre optic sensing technologies in the field of geosciences. The event will showcase the latest progress and advances in technological development. It will also highlight state-of-the-art processing and analysis approaches, as well as the latest initiatives and strategies for data sharing, open-source software, and collaboration platforms. All of this is to improve our understanding of the Earth system and highlight how these novel sensing technologies can have a real impact in enhancing the safety and resilience of our modern societies.
