Integrating GIS and Remote Sensing in a Dynamic World
4th June, 2008 – 7th June, 2008
4th Workshop of the EARSeL Special Interest Group on Developing Countries in conjunction with GISDECO 8, 8th workshop of the GIS in Developing Countries.
Integrating GIS and Remote Sensing in a Dynamic World
ABSTRACT DEADLINE: January 11th 2008
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, visualisation 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 discussing results, and to exchange expertise and experience among researchers and users engaged in solving the problems of developing countries.
