Project SINAG presents at the
31st Institute of Industrial Science (IIS) Forum

The 31st IIS Forum with the theme "Earth Observation, Disaster Monitoring and Risk Assessment from Space" was hosted by the Institute of Industrial Science, The University of Tokyo, last March 6-7, 2023.

Project SINAG presented two papers:

• “AHI-8 SWR Adjustment using CLOT-derived Correction Factor for Solar PV Power Potential Assessment in the Philippines” by Engr. Marielle Sotto, Engr. Ma. Divina Angela Bauzon, Jayson Cañete and Dr. Jeark Principe, and

• “Assessment of Socioeconomic Impacts of LULC Conversion to Solar Farms Using Remotely Sensed Data: Case of Tarlac and Cebu, Philippines” by Dr. Jeark Principe.

Project Leader Dr. Jeark Principe also chaired a session during the second day of the IIS Forum.

The forum covered topics on remotely sensed data gathering techniques in ecosystems, hydrology, modeling, disaster engineering, and the use of wide-area information such as environmental, forest, and disaster risk assessment using geographic information systems.

A total of 40 participants attended the forum from various locations across Japan, ranging from Hokkaido to Nagasaki, as well as countries such as Switzerland, Myanmar, Thailand, Philippines, and China. The event hosted 26 research presentations in English, followed by a Q&A session.
