GEOHAB (Marine Geological and Biological Habitat Mapping) annual forum brings together geologists, biologists, acousticians, statisticians, spatial analysts and environmental managers from around the world, who are developing new methods and procedures to link remotely sensed data with seafloor geology and marine biology within a geo-spatial environment. After more than 10 years since its start, the GEOHAB conference comes for the first time to the Mediterranean. It is hosted by the Geological Surve of Italy – ISPRA together with the Institute for Coastal and Marine Environment – CNR. This event offers a great opportunity to participate in a stimulating and exciting meeting.
