Remote Sensing of Surface Mineral Composition: A discussion of recent advancements and future directions

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.

Remote Sensing in Risk Management in High Mountain Asia

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.
