To advance collective progress on remote sensing of surface composition, the IEEE GRSS GSIS TC is starting a working group to improve algorithms that characterize geology and geochemistry, that detail associated physical and chemical processes, and that link geology to biological function. A focus will be on expanding the number of well-validated case study areas to evaluate and compare existing and new sensors and algorithms.

The IEEE Signal Processing Society, the IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society (GRSS), the GRSS Standards Commitee, the IEEE Synthetic Aperture Standards Commitee, and the IEEE Synthetic Aperture Technical Working Group, together with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) invite you to the picturesque NIST campus in Boulder, Colorado for the Climate Change Standards Initiative (CCSI).

An increasing number of high-impact disasters are being reported from High Mountain Asia, some of which have been studied with astonishing detail relying on remote sensing data. Regional capacities to respond to these evolving hazard chains, both in academic as well as governmental environments are however less well known and sometimes available capacities remain untapped. We will look at some of these capacities and associated challenges through the prism of recent events and explore potential ways ahead for international capacities to contribute to further improve our responses.

This presentation introduced the foundation models (FM) being built and trained by NASA IMPACT and IBM for multi-disciplinary scientific applications, showcasing how the FMs are pre-trained neural networks that capture diverse visual features from large datasets, enabling versatile applications in computer vision tasks without extensive retraining, and their development benefits from interdisciplinary collaboration and open science principles. Speakers: Sujit Roy, Johannes Schmude
