SPAIN

Remote Sensing in the 21th Century

Economic and Environmental Applications

31 May – 2 June 1999, Valladolid


The 19th EARSeL Symposium is the last to be held this millennium and aims to establish a milestone to reflect the tremendous progress which remote sensing has made over the last few years and to open the doors to the 21st century by showing the innovations that the immediate future has to offer us.

The theme of the 1999 Symposium is Remote Sensing in the 21st Century: Economic and Environmental Applications. Two of the most important challenges that humanity is facing in the 21st century are thus underlined: the economic, bringing with it an increase in well-being, help for developing countries and a general improvement in the quality of life, and the environment which must be respected, protected and improved in order to offer future generations a better world.

The sessions of the Symposium cover most of the more important topics in remote sensing. In addition, the Symposium offers the opportunity to organize small meetings among researchers from various laboratories to prepare future projects or to analyze field campaign results, as well as the possibility for specific presentations on the part of commercial firms. The EARSeL Special Interest Groups (SIGs) are especially invited to organize extra informal meetings.

ORAL PRESENTATIONS
For oral presentations, all technical equipment such as single or parallel overhead and slide projectors will be available in both lecture halls. Speakers who wish to use a multimedia projector linked to a PC may do so. Internet connection is also available in the Aula Magna. Talks should not exceed 15 minutes plus 5 minutes for discussion.
