33rd International symposium on remote sensing of environment

The Symposium is a significant event to take stock of progress made during this first decade of the 21st Century in the development and use of observation technologies and data and information systems. Oral and poster sessions will cover the development, deployment and operational use of Earth observing systems both space- and airborne. They will include presentations on instruments, systems, new analytical techniques, results and applications in the full range of relevant fields. An exhibit area will also display commercial, industrial programs and technical realizations.

The Symposium will cover the following topics (not exclusive):
1. Reducing loss of life and property from natural and human-induced disasters.
2. Understanding environmental factors affecting human health and well-being.
3. Improving management of energy resources.
4. Understanding, assessing, predicting, mitigating and adapting to climate variability and change.
5. Improving water resource management through better understanding of the water cycle.
6. Improving weather information, forecasting and warning.
7. Improving the management and protection of terrestrial, coastal and marine ecosystems.
8. Supporting sustainable agriculture and combating desertification.
9. Understanding, monitoring and conserving biodiversity.
10. Earth Observation advances: Instrumentation, data management, capacity building and education.
