The following workshops were conducted by students of IIIT-H at  FOSS4G-ASIA – 2018 Conference at University of  Moratuwa, Sri Lanka from 2 – 5 December:

  • Salghuna N N (Ph.D student) working under the supervision of Dr. Ramachandra Prasad P – The DART model (Discrete Anisotropic Radiative Transfer)
  • M Vani (Ph.D student) working under the supervision of Dr. Ramachandra Prasad P – SLEUTH a land use change

The conference fosters sustainable development and promotes the widespread use of Open Source Geospatial Technologies including support for software development, publicly available Geo-data and applications. This year’s conference theme was ‘Open Source For Sustainable Development’. The conference itself had a host of sustainable initiatives ranging from no printed conference proceedings to no plastic water bottles, even exhorting the participants to ‘plate according to appetite’ during mealtimes and to consider taking the stairs in lieu of the elevator in case they were alone.
