Topics
EARSeL is a scientific network of European remote sensing laboratories, coming from both academia and the commercial/industrial sector, which covers all fields of geoinformation and earth observation through remote sensing. All scientists, professionals and researchers involved or interested in the field of the symposium are strongly encouraged to present papers according to the following topics:
Advanced methods for spectroscopy calibration, data processing, and archiving
- Sensor calibration and product validation
- Software systems for imaging spectroscopy
- Big data and data mining
- Inversion schemes and data assimilation
- In-situ, field and laboratory spectroscopy
- Atmospheric compensation techniques
- Spectral databases and information systems
- Very high resolution spectroscopy
- Statistical and computational methods for data analysis
Integrated approaches in Earth System Science using spectroscopy
- Combined use of Earth Observation technologies (LiDAR, SAR, etc. and spectroscopy)
- Forward and inverse modeling of spheres
- Sphere specific analysis methods (atmosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere, geosphere, anthroposphere)
- Ecosystem processes and functions in vegetated ecosystems, soils, snow & ice, atmosphere, coastal and inland waters, urban areas
- Scaling, interactions and feedback mechanisms between and across spheres
- Transdisciplinary applications using Soil- and Ecosystem Services (ESS)
- Spectroscopy in the context of societal challenges (water scarcity, food security, biodiversity loss, etc.)
Next generation platforms and sensors
- Spectroscopy from ground, drone, air- and spaceborne platforms
- Visible, near-, mid- and thermal infrared spectral and multi-angular spectral measurements
- Emerging concepts, technologies and missions
