                        It has been one semester since our first newsletter edition
                        and so many things have happened on our end!<br><br>

                        A full agenda has taken us to fieldwork campaigns, posters
                        and talks in conferences, meetings with users, validation of
                        data, a project and review meeting in Stirling, and well...
                        Our birthday!<br><br>

                        All of this while growing the lively community of
                        CoastObservers in our activities and through our different
                        social networks.

                be focused on how Earth Observation contributes to science and
                society, and how disruptive technologies and actors are changing
                the traditional Earth Observation landscape, which is also
                creating new opportunities for public and private sector
