Improving the Academic Atmosphere, Agricultural and Biosystem Engineering Unud Holds Public Lectures

The Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering Study Program has held a Public Lecture which took place in the Library Hall, Udayana University Central Library. The guest lecturer invited this time was Hangar Ganara Mawandha, S.T., M.Eng., Ph.D., who is a PS TPB lecturer at the UGM Faculty of Agricultural Technology. This public lecture was attended mainly by PS TPB FTP Unud students class of 2023, 2022, and lecturers.

 

The guest lecturer delivered material entitled "Application of Remote Sensing Technology for Hydrometeorological Disaster Mitigation as Support for Sustainable Agricultural Activities". The material presented includes climate change that is occurring, the importance of remote sensing technology, efforts to utilize remote sensing technology that already exists in space and on land, empirical equations for predicting rain. Until now the ability to predict the possibility of rain is still limited to a few hours. This estimation ability continues to be improved until it reaches the next few days or 1 week.

 

This material is an enrichment of the material provided in the Remote Sensing, Geographic Information Systems, Hydrology and Climatology courses offered at PS TPB FTP Unud. PS TPB FTP Unud students welcomed this activity enthusiastically. During the discussion after the presentation of the material, many students asked questions to deepen the general lecture material. Students asked about remote sensing technology, the level of validity of estimates, more in-depth explanations in the application of empirical equations. The material for predicting hydrometeorological disasters using radar technology and satellite imagery provides a new learning experience for students so that in the future there will be research collaboration between students and lecturers related to the application of this technology.
