Besides crisis management\, we will speak about the role of GNSS in the implementation of smart cities and IoT (Internet of Things) technology. \nIn the second part of the webinar\, satellite systems for Earth observation will be described. Emphasis will be on those systems that are open to all users free of charge such as the Copernicus system with its services. The application of satellite altimetry for monitoring the sea surface will be presented. Satellite-based remote sensing is used for monitoring changes on Earth and making cartographic models and maps\, which finds many applications in agriculture\, forestry\, industry and other sectors. The speakers will share practical examples and insight into this interesting and dynamic field. \n  \nMeet our speakers: \n\nDanijel Šugar\, PhD\, Assistant Professor\, Faculty of Geodesy\, University of Zagreb\nMarijan Grgić\, PhD\, Post-Doctoral Researcher\, Faculty of Geodesy\, University Zagreb\nIvan Tomljenović\, PhD\, Head of Remote Sensing and GIS Laboratory\, OIKON Ltd. – Institute of Applied Ecology\nDavor Predavec\, mag ing\, Founder & CEO at SymbIoTic\n\n  \nWebinar moderator: \n\nZvonimir Nevistić\, mag ing\, Research Assistant\, Faculty of Geodesy\, University of Zagreb\n\n\nThis webinar is hosted in partnership with Adriatic Aerospace Association\, A3. \n\nNotice: This webinar will be held in Croatian. \n  \n  \nREGISTER HERE  \nMeet your speakers \nDanijel Šugar received his PhD degree in Geomagnetism and Geodesy from the Faculty of Geodesy\, University of Zagreb.

SUMMARY:
DESCRIPTION:The European Space Agency is recruiting its next generation of astronauts in 2021. Till date only 11% of astronauts worldwide have been women. Yet\, to build a sustainable human presence in space\, there is a need for more diversity in crews. ESA is highly encouraging women to apply to the upcoming selection\, and at ‘Our Giant Leap’ we aim to encourage and support them in this process. \nThrough this series of webinars organised by the SGAC Our Giant Leap team\, we will explain the current status of diversity in astronaut crews\, and why an increase is needed. We will also support your application by sharing tips and insights from our experts. Finally\, we want you to meet with applicants to the selection to learn more about their path in the process\, and hopefully convince you that you might also have what it takes to be an astronaut ! \nThe team is therefore proud to present the first episode of its webinar series. With the help of our experts\, we will address the general lack of women in STEM and how that impacts the space sector. We will also discuss the current challenges for women in the area of human spaceflight\, and the overall benefits for everyone of having more diverse crews. Ultimately\, our goal is for you to know what to say next time someone asks you: Why do we need more women astronauts?  \n  \nYou can already participate in the event before it begins! Use #AskOGL to ask your questions about the webinar and to the speakers. \nThis event is the first episode of a series about the ESA astronaut selection. This webinar will be recorded. \n  \n  \nREGISTER HERE  \nConfirmed Speakers \nDr. Michaela Musilova is an astrobiologist and the Director of the HI-SEAS analog space station. Michaela studied and conducted research at the California Institute of Technology\, University College London\, University of Bristol\, Chiba University\, International Space University (ISU) and others. \nShe worked for NASA\, University of London Observatory\, Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope and was the Commander of over 20 simulated missions to the Moon and Mars. In fact\, to her knowledge\, Michaela has led the largest amount of mixed and all female analog space mission crews.\nShe is also a visiting Professor at the Slovak University of Technology\, Vice-Chair of SOSA\, Adjunct Faculty at ISU and the Head of Research of the space technology company NEEDRONIX.  \nMichaela has received numerous prizes and research grants\, including the Emerging Space Leaders Grant from the International Astronautical Federation\, Women in Aerospace – Europe Young Professional Award\, and she was selected as one of the most promising 30 under 30 by Forbes Slovakia.   \nShe is also actively involved in the Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award program\, as a patron of Slovakia’s program and the global program’s Emerging Leader Representative. Furthermore\, Michaela regularly teaches\, gives lectures and keynote presentations\, works with international media and is STEM Punks educational program’s Advisory Board Member. She also writes articles for Space.com and co-authored her biography\, A Woman from Mars. \nVirginia Wotring has been using her training in biochemistry (BS\, Florida State University)\, physiology & pharmacology (PhD\, Saint Louis University\, USA) to study the actions of medications used during spaceflight missions. This means first studying the effects of the spaceflight environment on physiology and then turning to potential spaceflight-induced changes in pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. \nVirginia has been doing this during positions at Johnson Space Center and Baylor College of Medicine in Houston TX\, and now at the International Space University in Strasbourg\, France.  \nShe had held management positions in the past\, most recently as Deputy Director and Chief Scientist of the NASA-funded Translational Research Institute for Space Health\, however she prefers doing science to managing it.  \nHer current research ranges from the study of women’s health during spaceflight missions to examination of biochemical responses to Earth analogs of space in simple model organisms.
