Novel methods and applications of satellite and aerial imagery
Convener: Ionut Cosmin SandricECSECS | Co-conveners: George P. Petropoulos, Marina Vîrghileanu, Juha Lemmetyinen

Understanding Earth's natural processes, particularly in the context of global climate change, has gained widespread recognition as an urgent and central research priority that requires further exploration. Recent advancements in satellite technology, characterized by new platforms with high revisit times and the growing capabilities for collecting repetitive ultra-high-resolution aerial images through unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), have ushered in exciting opportunities for the scientific community. These developments pave the way for developing and applying innovative image-processing algorithms to address longstanding and emerging environmental challenges.
The primary objective of the proposed session is to convene scientific researchers dedicated to the field of satellite and aerial time-series imagery. The aim is to showcase ongoing research efforts and novel applications in this dynamic area. This session is specifically focused on presenting studies centred around the creation and utilization of pioneering algorithms for processing satellite time-series data, as well as their applications in various domains of remote sensing, aimed at investigating long-term processes across all Earth's realms, including the sea, ice, land, and atmosphere.
In today's era of unprecedented environmental challenges and the ever-increasing availability of data from satellite and aerial sources, this session serves as a platform to foster collaboration and knowledge exchange among experts working on the cutting edge of Earth observation technology. By harnessing the power of satellite and aerial time-series imagery, we can unlock valuable insights into our planet's complex systems, ultimately aiding our collective efforts to address pressing global issues such as climate change, natural resource management, disaster mitigation, and ecosystem preservation.
The session organizers welcome contributions from researchers engaged in applied and theoretical research. These contributions should emphasize fresh methods and innovative satellite and aerial time-series imagery applications across all geoscience disciplines. This inclusivity encompasses aerial and satellite platforms and the data they acquire across the electromagnetic spectrum.
