The main goal of the Ist Symposium of Geotechnologies in the Pantanal - Ist GeoPantanal is to promote the meeting of professionals of academic-scientific communities and students interested in the use of geotechnologies for researches in the Pantanal, including the surrounding area, also located in Bolivia and Paraguay, delimitated by the upper Paraguay river basin.
The event will provide opportunity to:
Publish scientific works;
Extend knowledge on how to apply geotechnologies to the study of humid areas;
Evaluate the state of art of the application of geotechnologies to environmental studies related to the Pantanal, and
Promote international and interinstitutional cooperation.
