The PORSEC Association mission is to promote the open exchange of knowledge about the oceans and related atmospheric sciences and the use of remote sensing technology in oceanic research.
A goal of the PORSEC Association is that its conferences will further understanding of the Earth's environmental processes such as climate variability, the effects of the El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO), oceanic hazards such as tsunamis, tropical and extra-tropical cyclones, sea level rise, and other climate change effects and the effects of pollution through exchange of ideas and knowledge.
The association in general promotes studies of the oceans and related atmospheric sciences using remote sensing technology through international collaboration with the following scientific priorities:
1. The Association promotes studies of the oceans and related atmospheric sciences concerned with the Earth environmental processes such as greenhouse effect, ENSO, ocean hazard, pollution, sea level rise and other climatic variability using Remote Sensing and involving international collaborative programs.
2. The PORSEC Association aims to provide better opportunities for scientists, especially from developing countries for learning and applying the state of the art in Ocean Remote Sensing, including space and under water development, information technology, computer science and environmental sciences, through international conferences, training courses and virtual university courses.
The Sendai Framework Voluntary Commitments (SFVC) online platform allows stakeholders to inform the public about their work on DRR. The SFVC online platform is a useful toolto know who is doing what and where for the implementation of the Sendai Framework, which could foster potential collaboration among stakeholders. All stakeholders (private sector, civil society organizations, academia, media, local governments, etc.) working on DRR can submit their commitments and report on their progress and deliverables.
