Social science research is making increasing use of remote sensing data. This raises new technical and scientific challenges. With local support from the Paris School of Economics, the EcoSocio department is organizing this workshop with the aim of creating a space for exchanges on practices as well as research questions around these spatially explicit data. Following an overview of the range of remote sensing tools available for monitoring land use, three thematic sessions will be held, focusing specifically on agricultural, urban and forestry issues. The presentations will all seek to explain (i) the technical challenges that have had to be overcome in the research dynamic, and (ii) how remote sensing data has made it possible to answer new questions that would not have been possible without such data OR how old questions have been able to find new answers thanks to this relatively new data.
The workshop is intended to be open not only to researchers already using satellite data, but also to anyone interested in understanding the advantages and disadvantages of these data sources. The workshop also aims to reduce the cost of entry for participants.

The Opening Economics Chair allows economists to respond in creative and effective ways to the major questions of our times, by integrating two observations: that current challenges, complex and multifaceted as they are, demand an approach that transcends disciplinary boundaries, and that economics research must be renewed by advances made in other related disciplines.
