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.

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.

Combining multiple satellite remote sensing sources can provide a far richer, more frequent view of the earth than that of any single source; the challenge is in distilling this large volume of heterogeneous sensor imagery into meaningful characterizations of the imaged areas. This talk will present recent research in this area, discuss what worked and what didn’t work, and highlight opportunities for future research directions by the community.
