36th International Symposium on Remote Sensing of Environment
You are invited to the 36th International Symposium on Remote Sensing of
Environment (ISRSE), which will take place on May 11-15, 2015 in
Berlin, Germany. This 36th Symposium will represent a major event in the
long series of internationally recognized ISRSE meetings. The overall
theme of the symposium is the use of Earth Observation systems and
related Remote Sensing techniques for understanding and managing the
Earth environment and resources.
ISRSE-36 takes place at a significant moment: The process to define the
UN global development agenda post 2015 with its Sustainability
Development Goals will be finalized in 2015. The Future Earth initiative
has been created as a global platform to deliver solution-orientated
research for sustainability. One of its key challenges is innovative
approaches to integrate knowledge systems (data, observation, modelling,
etc.), including remote sensing of the environment. A second Hyogo
Framework of Action with its goal to substantially reduce disaster
losses is set to be launched in 2015, where Earth observation approaches
play an increasing role in making societies resilient to disasters. The
global Group on Earth Observations (GEO), together with its partners,
such as the Committee on Earth Observing Satellite (CEOS), addresses all
of these political and scientific agendas while it currently prepares
for its second implementation phase 2016-2025. ISRSE-36 will be an
excellent forum to present results from past and current scientific
achievements related to those international developments, as well as to
discuss future plans for them. ISRSE-36 will feature recent milestones
in the development of Earth observation programmes addressing
sustainable development, global environmental issues and resilience to
disasters.
ISRSE-36 will provide an outstanding opportunity to learn about these major programmes and their first results. It will be a forum to present applications based on these new missions and to exchange views on future directions of Earth Observation technology and geographic information management. The Symposium will include plenary and thematic sessions, poster sessions and side events on issues of interest to scientists, policy makers and resource managers in the public and private sectors. The programme will feature speakers from around the globe sharing their experiences and knowledge on Earth observation applications and programmes. By attending the ISRSE-36, practitioners, scientists, policy makers, system engineers and students will be able to get a full view of the current situation in a range of fields now deemed critical in the Earth’s sustainable management.
The 36th ISRSE is organized by the German Aerospace Center (DLR) in partnership with the International Center for Remote Sensing of Environment (Tucson, Arizona). ISRSE is an International Society of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ISPRS) Symposium.
