From Known Knowns to Unknown Unknowns: Remotely Detecting the Past

9th - 10th May 2013

Wood Quay Venue, Civic Offices, Dublin/Ireland

Over the past few years the extent and quality of information available from satellites, airborne laser scanning (LiDAR) and aerial photography has grown exponentially. These techniques, collectively referred to as remote sensing, have had an enormous impact on our ability to reveal past landscapes and disseminate knowledge about those landscapes. The results of this work can be both visually exciting and intellectually engaging.

This two day conference brought together a series of speakers to showcase these techniques and the uses to which they can be put. The conference specifically explored how remotes sensing and its results can be used within the sectors of:

• Heritage management and legislation
• Education including: secondary, third level and continual development
• Community heritage and citizen science
