3 3  Connecting natural sciences, engineering and economic sciences, BOKU works towards an increased knowledge of the ecologically and economically sustainable use of natural resources,
4 4  to provide a harmoniously cultivated landscape. Within BOKU, the Institute of Surveying, Remote Sensing and Land Information (IVFL) covers scientific and technical aspects of
5 5  geo-information retrieval, in particular using Earth Observation (EO) sensors and Sentinel-2 time series.
