[ESIP-all] Fwd: Upcoming Earth observations events and calls for submissions

Wed Aug 2 17:47:41 EDT 2017

Hello all - 

Here are some Earth Science Data related activities going on of interest to both ESIP and GEO.  A couple have already happened, but the information in the links may still be useful.

Thanks!

Kathy

> Emerging Earth Observation Technologies and Techniques in Global Agricultural Monitoring: GEOGLAM and Other Activities
> We invite abstracts which broadly deal with the use and application of EO for cropland and rangeland monitoring, and highlight emerging technologies and techniques related to 1) data sources (e.g. UAV, micro satellites, SAR, passive microwave, fluorescence, crowdsourcing); 2) data access and use (e.g. data fusion, big data, artificial intelligence, web-enabled tools and cloud computing); and 3) knowledge/technology transfer modalities. In-session discussions will be oriented toward coordinating monitoring efforts, such as the Group on Earth Observations Global Agricultural Monitoring (GEOGLAM), a G20 international initiative to enhance global EO-based agricultural information usage by decision and policy makers.
