EARSeL announces meetings for 2001
8 September 2000 - 8 September 2000
The European Association of remote sensing laboratories (EARSeL) has published its first announcement and call for papers for its 21st symposium 'observing our environment from space: new solutions for a new millenium.' The event will be held near Paris from 14 to 17 May 2001 and followed by a workshop on forest fires monitoring and management on 18 and 19 May 2001.
The annual EARSeL meeting aims to bring together the European remote sensing scientific and user communities and to facilitate contacts and exchange between laboratories and companies. EARSeL has a scientific role as an interface between fast-evolving technologies and their operational applications in various disciplines at European, regional, and local level. Other scientific aims are to improve the integration between low-resolution and high-resolution sensors and to integrate remote sensing data with data from other sources in Geographic Information System.
EARSeL also wants to demonstrate the contribution that remote sensing has made to European environmental and economic issues and, in particular, the role of space techniques in the management of natural and man-made hazards.
Sessions will be organised by disciplines: atmosphere, water, land surface processes, non-renewable resources, renewable resources, monitoring of environmental processes, and sensor systems.
Papers are welcome related to the general theme of the symposium and in particular:
- International environmental programmes;
- Land applications; global and local environmental monitoring;
- Water (marine waters, inland waters and coastal zones);
- Sea ice;
- Land ice and snow;
- Atmosphere and global change;
- Hydrology;
- Operational use of remotely sensed data;
- Renewable resources;
- Data calibration , preprocessing and validation;
- Sensors under development.
The third international workshop on remote sensing and forest fires will follow the symposium. The main topic of the workshop will be the application of new sensors and technologies to fire prevention, detection and mapping. Special emphasis will be devoted to global and regional approaches. Potentials of vegetation, MODIS, and MERIS will be reviewed, as well as the continued development of techniques to improve processing of AVHRR, ATSR and WiFs data. The integration of human factors in the analysis of risk will also be considered, to obtain a more comprehensive view of estimating the danger of fire.
In order to leave as much time as possible for in-depth discussion of the themes raised, all contributions will be presented as posters. Authors will have the opportunity to give a brief oral presentation of their work before detailed explanations of their posters during the following poster session. Oral presentations will be restricted to three keynote lectures.
EARSeL is now inviting papers for presentation at the symposium. An abstract of approximately 500 words (one A4 page) should be submitted by 1 November 2000 to:
