This important western U.S. city is not only the capital of Colorado but also a central location for science and technology distributed along the Front Range from Fort Collins in the north to Colorado Springs in the south. Just northwest of Denver is Boulder where the main campus of the University of Colorado is located, along with the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) and a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) research facility. Boulder is also the home to Ball Aerospace while other aerospace companies such as Raytheon and Lockheed-Martin have major facilities in the greater Denver area. There are many other remote sensing technology companies located in the Front Range, adding to the rich science fabric of the region. For this conference we have received over 2400 abstracts from scientists the world over who will be coming to Denver to experience the Rocky Mountain High and the facilities of the newly expanded Colorado Convention Center. We have divided the technical program into half invited sessions and half general sessions and anticipate a good attendance at both. The Technical Program Committee meeting was held in San Juan, Puerto Rico where the many abstracts were organized into oral and interactive sessions. This effort as always has been supported by a large number of remote sensing scientists and we greatly appreciate their efforts on behalf of this conference.

The theme of this years symposium was “Sensing and Understanding Our Planet .” The goal of this year’s symposium was to report on the advances in understanding the basics of earth processes such as climate, ecology, and hydrology to identify factors to be measured in remote sensing. Understanding and sensing our planet encompasses remote sensing scientists and engineers that work on technological advances and earth science researchers who investigate the earth science processes.

The choice of Cape Town, the first time that IGARSS will be held on the African continent, represents a milestone in the IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society’s strategic objective to broaden international participation, particularly in the developing countries. Awarding this Symposium to Africa is a tangible and committed step to engage African governments, institutions and individuals in the powerful global network of GRSS earth science and remote sensing specialists. At a stage when many regions of Africa are emerging from dark periods of civil strife and regional conflict, it is an appropriate moment to embrace the possibilities of remote sensing and associated sciences as tools in development, environmental protection, health, good governance, disease and poverty alleviation. A broad alliance of African states, ranging from Algeria to Nigeria to South Africa are cooperating in their new national programmes of space science and Earth Observation, with several small satellites launched or in the planning and construction stages. To meet the human resources needs of these new programmes, young scientists need to be introduced to and become part of the international remote sensing community. The holding of this IGRSS Symposium in Africa will provide a magnificent opportunity to foster these interactions.

IGARSS 09 in Africa will not be happening in isolation. Africa has its own complementary disciplinary societies: the African Association for Remote Sensing of the Environment (AARSE) and EIS-Africa, which organisations will be partners in hosting the international community in Cape Town. Over the past five years, through a series of training workshops and conferences on remote sensing technologies and applications we have been building up a momentum towards IGARSS 09. Members of the GRSS have made significant contributions to these development efforts.

It is thus with great pleasure on behalf of the GRSS, IGARSS 09 Local Organizing Committee, the Universities of Cape Town and Johannesburg and associated institutions that I invite you to start planning your participation in our annual symposium for Cape Town in 2009.

The programme for Cape Town will have several special sessions, in addition to maintaining continuity of traditional GRSS themes.

We hope to celebrate ten years of MODIS Earth observations, and to take stock five years into the GEOSS programme. On the technical side, we will organise special sessions on microsatellites. In terms of African development, several sessions on applications will address disaster preparedness and response, global change and adaptation, good governance, role of RS in health and disease monitoring, water and food security, forest and fire monitoring, and urban planning.

We invite you also to bring your families. Cape Town is one of the world’s premier tourist destinations, with a wide range of activities. We will plan a family friendly programme that will cater for children, wine lovers, outdoor enthusiasts, culture aficionados and more.
