When: 20 February 2013

where: Monash University, Melbourne

Objective: Inaugural meeting of the OzEWEX DA working group, organised primarily as an opportunity to meet-and-greet fellow DA practitioners and learn about the latest activities in land surface remote sensing DA for waterenergy cycle science. The day will also serve as an opportunity to plan for a joint activity(ies) under the auspices of OzEWEX.
