3rd EARSeL Workshop on Remote Sensing in Education and Training,
Prague, Czech Republic, 31 May 2011
All relevant institutions and interested individuals are invited to
participate. In particular, the workshop is also addressed to the
Global Environment and Security (GMES) programme of the European
Commission and the European Space Agency (ESA). The success of GMES
services and information products, especially in the fields of
environment, climate change and natural disasters depends on
specific training activities which include remote sensing for earth
observation as a core element.
Topics:
- Earth observation for kids
- Earth observation and its associated use to support science
education at schools, high schools and universities
- Environmental science as a tool in cooperative learning and
teaching, in enquiry based learning and in other educational
practices for tomorrow's schools
- Earth observation and its use as educational support in areas like
biology, chemistry, geography, physics and mathematis curricula in
the classroom but also in continuous individual learning
- Training activities in GMES, with a focus on environment, climate
change and natural disasters, in GEOSS, and other international
programmes
- Earth observation and its use for public outreach of Environmental
Sciences and Global Change
Important dates:
-Due date for submission of abstracts: 15th February 2011
- Notification of authors: 15th March 2011
- Preliminary programme: 6th April 2011
- Mandatory author registration: 21st April 2011
- Due date for full written papers: 1st June 2011

4th EARSeL Workshop on Land Use and Land Cover, Prague, Czech
Republic, June 1 - 3, 2011
The workshop will be composed of pre-defined thematic sessions with
high-ranked invited keynote speakers and poster presentations only
(1-2 minutes oral introduction to each poster, followed by
interactive poster sessions). The sessions will be closed by wrap-up
discussions. All submitted contributions will be handled equally as
posters and no selection for oral or poster presentation will be
done.
Topics:
- Classification
- Change detection
- Pre-processing for LULC applications
- Accuracy assessment in LULC applications
- Large-scale land cover initiatives (e.g. state-wide inventories,
Europe, global)
- Specific requirements of LULC in Mediterranean and Developing
countries
Important dates:
- Submission of abstracts: 26 January 2011
- Notification of abstract acceptance: 15 February 2011
- Preliminary programme: 28 February 2011
- Mandatory registration for authors: 21 April 2011
- Manuscript submission for peer-reviewed publication in EARSeL
eProceedings (http://www.eproceedings.org/)
at any time.

5th EARSeL Workshop on Remote Sensing of the Coastal Zone,
Prague, Czech Republic, June 1-3, 2011
The 5th workshop focuses on the
impact of our climate on coastal
zones and inland waters, on climate change and its expected
effects on European seas, and on the role of remote sensing for its
study:
Topics:
- changng terrestrial run-off into coastal waters
- escalation of extreme coasstal events: floods, storms, high tides
- hydrology and water budget evolution of rivers and lakes
- increasing temperatures in inland and coastal waters
- impact of varying physical forcing on morphodynamics and
ecosystems
- new developments of habitats, biodiversity and alien invaders
- fluxes and fate of seawaterconstituents, including pollutants
- role of Coastal Zone Management in adapting to climate change
and their investigation with REMOTE SENSING:
- active and passive methods in all spectral ranges, sensor
combinations
- satellite, airborne and ground-based methods including ground
truth
- modelling of radiative transfer, image processing and related
aspects
- interaction of physical, biological and chemical conditions and
processes
- Ocean Colour Remote Sensing for Coastal and Inland Waters
Important dates:
- Due date for submission of abstracts: 15th February 2011
- Notification of acceptance: 15th March 2011
- Preliminary programme: 6th April 2011
- Mandatory author registration: 21st April 2011
- Due date for full written papers: 1st June 2011

1st EARSeL SIG Forestry workshop "Operational Remote Sensing in
Forest Management", Prague, Czech Republic, 2-3 June 2011
A number of sensors, tools and methods was developed in the field of
forestry remote sensing during the last decade. However, practical
utilisation seems insufficiently considered by the forest (national
park) administrations and other potential users.
The event aims at setting up a common forum for the research
community and people from the forestry sector, where both the
operational techniques as well as developing methodologies can be
presented and understood in order to improve forest management and
protection practices in Europe.
Main topics:
- forest resource mapping, biomass estimation and change detection
- forest inventories, biophysical parameters
- REDD, forest damage/degradation related to climate change
- biodiversity, protected forests, mountain forestry
- acquisition of reference field data
Methods and tools:
- active/passive sensors including VHRS, hyperspectral radar, ALS,
TLS, ...
- data from satellite, airborne platforms and their combinations
- image processing and related aspects
Important dates:
- Due date for abstract submission: 16th February 2011
- Notification of acceptance: 15th March 2011
- Preliminary programme on-line: 20th April 2011
- Author registration and payment: 1st May 2011
- Workshop programme with abstracts on-line: 7th May 2011
- Manuscript submission for workshop proceedings: 2-3 June 2011 (at
workshop)
- Manuscript submission for reviewed publication in EARSeL
eProceedings (
http://www.eproceedings.org/)
at any time.
