Leveraging Remote Sensing & Geospatial Technologies for Local Solutions to Global Environmental Challenges
Convener: Lorraine Tighe | Co-conveners: Ionut Cosmin Sandric, Maria Silva de SouzaECSECS, Michael Gould, Guenter Doerffel

In an era marked by increasing hazards, dwindling natural resources, and the undeniable effects of climate change, it is imperative to leverage cutting-edge technologies to confront these pressing challenges at the grassroots level. The proposed scientific session aims to assemble a cohort of experts and researchers spanning diverse disciplines to explore innovative approaches and solutions using time series aerial and satellite remote sensing data combined with geospatial technology software. The session will investigate the practical applications of these technologies in understanding and mitigating local challenges related to hazards, natural resources, and climate change.
The conveners extend a warm invitation for contributions from researchers in applied and theoretical domains, emphasizing innovative methodologies and practical applications of time-series imagery from satellites and aerial sources to explore innovative solutions for tackling local challenges related to hazards, natural resources, and climate change. We encourage using data acquired across the electromagnetic spectrum, encompassing optical and Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data, obtained globally through aerial and satellite missions.
The session objectives provide a platform for in-depth exploration of innovative solutions at the intersection of remote sensing, geospatial technology, and local environmental challenges.
Session Objectives:
[1] Showcasing Technological Advancements: Highlight the latest progressions in remote sensing technology and geospatial software that facilitate the monitoring and analysis of local hazards, natural resources, and the impacts of climate change.
[2] Case Studies and Research Findings: Engage in discussions centered around case studies and research outcomes that underscore the efficacy of time series remote sensing data in effectively addressing specific local challenges.
[3] Promoting Interdisciplinary Collaboration: Foster a collaborative environment among researchers, policymakers, and practitioners to cultivate actionable strategies for tackling local issues through interdisciplinary cooperation.
