[Esip-disasters] FW: AGU Session proposals now open

Mon Apr 20 15:44:31 EDT 2015

Here’s a new version based on initial comments. I anticipate submitting to the NH group and learned that we needed to distinguish our session and this new title does it. The phrase about methods for evaluating the utility of data products encompasses the ESIP disasters testbed. Comments still welcome!

Title: Small Satellites to Crowdsourcing—Evolving Technology for Natural Hazards

Abstract: Observational data from remote sensing measurements have contributed significantly to improvement in our understanding of natural hazards and have proven inherently useful for disaster management. Small satellites, crewed aircraft and drones, as well as in situ sensors and crowdsourcing content, are increasingly being used for monitoring disasters and supporting mitigation, in addition to relief efforts. Reliable and efficient cyberinfrastructure is key to providing accurate, timely information in the context of a Common Operating Picture for disaster responders. Remote sensing data products are also proving critical to forecasters and natural hazard researchers. This interdisciplinary session seeks contributions detailing research into new sensors and techniques for applications to natural hazards; techniques for detecting and monitoring disaster events, and producing and delivering near-realtime products to first responders; methods for evaluating the utility of data products; and the development of models and tools for assessing hazard risks and generating damage assessment products.

Hi Everyone,

Here is a version 0 draft for an AGU session. Emily and I are coordinating with folks from the Natural Hazards focus group. We have a few more days before the 4/22 due date. Comments are welcome.

Thanks,

Title: Evolving Remote Sensing Observational Capabilities to Support Natural Hazards Research and Applications to Disasters

Abstract: Observational data from remote sensing measurements has demonstrated application to improve our understanding of natural hazards and are inherently useful for disaster management. Small satellites, aircraft and drones, as well as in situ sensors, are increasingly being used for monitoring disasters and supporting mitigation in addition to relief efforts. Reliable and efficient cyberinfrastructure is key to providing accurate, timely information in the context of a Common Operating Picture for disaster responders. Remote sensing data products are proving critical as well to forecasters and other natural hazard researchers. This interdisciplinary session seeks research into using new sensors and techniques for applications to natural hazards; techniques for detecting and monitoring disaster events and producing near real time products; and methods for evaluating the utility of data products and providing them in near real time data products to disaster; and the development of models and tools for assessing hazard risks and generating post-event damage products.

Dear Ramesh and David,

We have been discussing a TBD follow up session for AGU FM2015, perhaps building on our successful joint session from last year. I thought it might be worthwhile to contact you to see if you were planning on a similar session proposal for NH and if we might collaborate at the very start. It seems that we could examine options such as proceeding with two coordinated sessions, one from NH, one from Informatics, or perhaps collaborate on a single joint session in either NH or ESSI.

Proposals are due April 22 so we have time.

Comments welcome!
Best regards,
Karen

Subject: RE: [ESIP-all] Fall AGU NH Session on "Satellite Remote Sensing and Management of Natural Disasters"

Hi Karen and Ramesh;

I actually think there's enough complementarity between the two sessions that they can stay distinct - the informatics-based session is clearly focused on cyberinfrastructure as a means to effectively handle multisource data streams to synthesize products for responders and decision makers, whereas our session is more concerned with sensor and platform technologies for providing those data streams.

So I see the sessions as very much complementary - maybe we cross reference the sessions in some manner, kind of like a "mini SWIRLS"?

Regards to all at ESTO - I look forward to meeting as many of you as possible in Leesburg!

Best,
Dave

Dear Karen,

Thanks for your mail, both the sessions look to be similar. We may need to combine two sessions.

Best,

Ramesh

Hello Dave,

Greetings from ESTO! Just wanted to let you and your AGU convener team know that there is a very similar AGU session in the Earth and Space Science Informatics (IN) area. Depending on responses, we may want to collaborate when the AGU program committee meets later this summer. Let me know if you would be interested in doing so.

Best,
Karen

Session Title: Helping Disasters Management through the Use of Remote Sensing Observational Data and their underlying Cyberinfrastructures

Session Description:
Remote sensing measurements enable science and our understanding of the Earth and are inherently useful for disaster management. Remote sensing data cannot prevent disasters, but dissemination of these acquired observations can help to minimize damages through prediction, mitigation, preparedness, warning, response and recovery. To support disaster management, it is essential to provide information in a timely manner that requires reliable and capable cyberinfrastructures. Many  national and international organizations are working to coordinate the observations and cyberinfrastructures to support full disaster life cycle (e.g., GEOSS). This session seeks papers that describe disaster management challenges; ways remote sensing data can help disaster management and their use cases; as well as technologies and cyberinfrastructures supporting disaster management.

Dear All,

Please submit your abstract for the NH Session #2326 on

Satellite Remote Sensing and Management of Natural Disasters
Session ID#: 2326

Session Description:
The frequency of natural disasters related to land, ocean, atmosphere and snow around the globe is apparently on the increase. In many instances this is believed to be associated with climate change. Small satellites and unmanned aerial vehicles are increasingly  being used for monitoring a wide variety of natural disasters and contributing to the management of their effects. This session will discuss remote sensing applications related to ongoing and future satellite missions and unmanned aerial vehicles in mapping, monitoring, damage assessment and early warning of all kinds of natural disasters (earthquakes, volcanoes, floods, droughts, subsidence, sinkholes, landslides, tornadoes, hurricanes/typhoons/cyclones, forest fires, tsunami, lightning, dust storms). Satellite remote sensing data are also being used to evaluate known vulnerable areas with the goal of improving forecast capability for natural disasters. Oral and poster contributions are welcome.

Conveners:
Ramesh P Singh, Chapman University, Orange, CA, United States
Amir AghaKouchak, University of California Irvine, Irvine, CA, United States,
Cathleen E Jones, NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, CA, United States
David M. Tratt, The Aerospace Corporation, Pasadena, CA, United States
