A group of professors from the University of Leon in Spain and the Polytechnic-Milan University presented several lectures in the field of geoinformatics for graduate students in the departments of Earth Sciences, Environment, and Geography at Yarmouk University. This activity was held as part of Erasmus Plus European Program's specialized workshop called "Geodesy and Geoinformatics Towards Sustainable Development in Jordan".

The workshop program, which was supervised by Dr. Muhaib Awawdeh from the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences and Dr. Rana Al-Jawarneh from the Department of Geography, lasted for two days. A group of lectures were held on the first day on advanced topics in remote sensing science and its applications like the use of hyperspectral images in mineral exploration. On the second day, there was more elaboration on the techniques of obtaining remote sensing data by laser radiation (LiDAR) and the mechanism of extracting data of great scientific value in scientific research such as digital elevation system (DEM).
