PHOTOGRAMMETRIC ENGINEERING & REMOTE SENSING
January 2019
1
The Pecora 21/ISRSE 38 Conference will be organized
around four session themes spanning the Earth
observations and continuous monitoring continuum.
Presentations are being sought on diverse science,
technology, and applications of remote sensing to
understand and sustainably manage the Earth’s
environment and natural resources. We encourage
contributions along the full value chain of Earth
observation, from fundamental research on Earth
system processes to operational applications,
innovative techniques and future missions, as well as
international programmes and coordination.
Submitted abstracts (max. 300 words) will be or-
ganized, though not exclusively, along four broad
thematic areas described below:
• Understanding the Earth through continuous
monitoring
• Societal benefits and empowering decision making
• Technical advances in monitoring using Earth
observations
• Envisioning the future of global monitoring
Abstracts addressing the conference themes
may be submitted for general consideration, or
be considered for inclusion in a proposed special
presentation sessions. Additional session proposals
will also be accepted during the Call for Abstracts.
Presentation Types
•
Standard presentation:
Long-format research
talk (15 minutes).
•
Special presentation session:
Inclusion in one
of the sessions listed to the right. For more
information on the special presentations, visit
/.
•
Short presentation:
Lightning-style research
talk (3 minutes)
•
Short visualization:
Lightning-style talk focused
on data visualization, e.g. map products,
dashboards, interactive plots, cartographic
tools (3 minutes)
•
Poster:
Poster presentation. May be considered
for general poster sessions or an illustrated
poster sessions where posters will be grouped
by topic or theme and presenters will have 1-2
minutes to introduce their poster to attendees.
•
Workshops:
2-hour and 4-hour pre-conference
workshops.
Awards will be offered in each category above,
including awards for best young professional/student
talk and poster. To be eligible, presenters must
request to be considered for judged awards during
the abstract submission process.
