EARSEL and GISDECO GIS Remote Sensing Workshop

14 November 2007, 8:00pm

The European Association of Remote Sensing Laboratories’ Special Interest Group on Developing Copuntries (EARSeL) in conjunction with the GISDECO network (GISDECO) announce a joint workshop on Integrating GIS and Remote Sensing in a Dynamic World

The workshop will take place at the Istanbul Technical University in Istanbul, Turkey.
4 -7 June 2008.

Aims of the workshop

For the first time, this workshop brings together experts from EARSeL and GISDECO networks. Especially for developing countries, integration of Remote Sensing and GIS offers unique access to primary data on the status of land surfaces, as well as possibilities for analysis, visua-lisation and development of possible solutions of problems, which due to dynamic changes both nature and humanity are exposed to. Global urbanisation, climate change and its effects on natural and human systems, land use and land cover changes, and salinisation are imminent dangers.

The workshop provides a forum for presenting and dis¬cussing results, and to exchange expertise and experience among researchers and users engaged in solving the pro¬blems of developing countries.

Papers dealing with the following topics are requested:

Adapted Sensor and Mapping Methods,
Environmental Monitoring,
Model Development and Integration,
DEM Generation for Developing Countries,
Innovative Remote Sensing and GIS Education,
Theory and Practice of Partipatory GIS,
GIT and poverty alleviation,
Hazards and risk mitigation,
Managing global urbanisation.

You are cordially invited to submit an abstract of your intended paper or poster presentation. All abstracts will be reviewed by the scientific committee, jointly composed of EARSeL and GISDECO members.

Registration and abstract submission (max. 750 words) should be done via the EARSeL Conference Management System
