DESCRIPTION:The IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society (GRSS) West Afri
 ca Workshop 2025 is a regional technical gathering focused on exploring ho
 w geoscience and remote sensing technologies can address flood risks and e
 nvironmental challenges in West Africa. This year’s workshop will highli
 ght the MAMI WATA Initiative (Microwave Monitoring of Water with Applicati
 ons)\, a cutting-edge approach that applies microwave remote sensing to im
 prove flood early warning systems\, support water resource planning\, and 
 strengthen climate resilience.\n\nThe two-day workshop will feature distin
 guished lectures from experts in geoscience\, hydrology\, climate science\
 , and remote sensing\, as well as technical sessions presenting innovative
  research and regional case studies. Participants will also engage in hand
 s-on student workshops\, panel discussions\, and exhibitions showcasing ge
 ospatial tools\, satellite data services\, and emerging innovations.\n\nTh
 e program provides a platform for researchers\, students\, engineers\, env
 ironmental scientists\, government agencies\, NGOs\, and industry practiti
 oners to exchange knowledge\, explore partnerships\, and develop solutions
  that support sustainable development across the region.\n\nSpeaker(s): Te
