International conferences provide platforms through which researchers from various institutions worldwide share the output of their research work. Dedan Kimathi University of Technology (DeKUT) participated in the 41st EARSeL Conference held in Paphos, Cyprus, from 13th to 16th September 2022. The conference theme was "Earth Observation for Environmental Monitoring".
