Seminars by Professor Beatriz Agueda Hernandez from the University of Valladolid

We are delighted to welcome Professor Beatriz Agueda Hernandez from the University of Valladolid (UVA – BEATRIZ AGUEDA HERNANDEZ – Universidad de Valladolid) to our campus next week. Professor Agueda will be presenting two seminars specifically designed for Master and PhD students.

Professor Agueda’s research expertise spans biomass, agricultural crops, and phytopathology, with a particular focus on edible mushroom production (including Boletus, Lactarius, and black truffle) and the use of remote sensing data for yield prediction. This is a fantastic opportunity to gain insights from an internationally recognized researcher in these fields.

These seminars offer a unique platform for learning and engaging in stimulating discussions. We strongly encourage all Master and PhD students to attend!

The seminars are scheduled for the following dates:

This seminar explores how remote sensing technologies can be applied to monitor and assess wild edible mushroom yields in forest ecosystems. Through a combination of theoretical concepts, case studies and practical examples, we will examine how satellite data, LiDAR and drones can help model the environmental conditions that influence fungal productivity. We will discuss the opportunities and challenges of using these tools to support sustainable forest management, rural development and non-wood forest product planning, with a particular focus on Mediterranean and temperate forests.
