On Tuesday, May 12 at 11:00 a.m., CISPAC will host the 22nd session of its “Theses under Discussion” programme at the Lar do CISPAC, an academic exchange space aimed at presenting and discussing doctoral research in an open and participatory format.
The session will feature Néstor Erick Caal Suc, a professor of Geographic Information Systems at the Faculty of Engineering of Universidad Panamericana (Guatemala) and a PhD candidate in the Department of Graphic Engineering and Geomatics at the University of Córdoba.
Under the title “Remote sensing and cloud-based artificial intelligence for environmental spatiotemporal analysis: applications in Central America”, the presentation will explore the potential of remote sensing techniques and artificial intelligence applied to the study of extreme environmental phenomena. Caal Suc’s research focuses particularly on modelling flooded areas caused by Hurricanes ETA and IOTA in Central America through the use of data from the European Copernicus programme and machine learning tools, using the Alta Verapaz region in Guatemala as a case study.
