Abstract

The Virtual Geoscience Conference (VGC) provides a vital interdisciplinary platform for researchers in geoscience, geomatics, and related fields to exchange insights on the latest methodological advancements and applications. The conference brings together experts focused on the development and application of geomatic techniques—such as LiDAR, photogrammetry, immersive visualization, computer vision, computer graphics, and terrestrial InSAR—across Earth and environmental sciences. The increasing adoption of 3D measurement technologies, UAV platforms, and innovative 2D imaging approaches such as hyperspectral and thermal imaging, is evident across diverse sub-disciplines within geoscience. These sophisticated, multi-sensor toolkits enable unprecedentedly detailed quantitative mapping, facilitating analyses that enhance our understanding of the natural environment and address societal challenges, including resource and energy security, geohazards, disaster management, and climate/environmental change.
