The Spanish Environmental Mutagenesis and Genomics Society (SEMA) is pleased to announce the VII SEMA Webinar, entitled “The transferability of Machine Learning methods from Agriculture to Toxicology and Mutagenesis”.
In this webinar, Dr. Pedro Miguel Mota Marques will explore how machine learning methodologies developed in the field of precision agriculture can be adapted and applied to other scientific domains, particularly toxicology and mutagenesis. The presentation will introduce key concepts in remote sensing, including sensing platforms such as UAVs and satellites, different types of sensors, and the role of the electromagnetic spectrum in vegetation monitoring.
Through several case studies focused on vineyards, olive groves and chestnut orchards, the speaker will illustrate how machine learning techniques can be used to analyse complex environmental datasets and support agricultural management tasks such as irrigation monitoring, crop stress assessment and yield prediction. The webinar will also highlight how similar analytical approaches are increasingly being applied in toxicology and mutagenesis research.
Dr. Marques is a researcher specialized in remote and proximal sensing for precision agriculture, with extensive experience combining UAV, satellite and spectroradiometer data with GIS-based analyses to monitor crops and develop predictive models based on multispectral and thermal data.
This online event will be held via Microsoft Teams and is part of the SEMA webinar series aimed at promoting the dissemination of research and fostering scientific exchange within the fields of mutagenesis, genomics and environmental toxicology.
