Considering that extreme events </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">pose threats to critical infrastructures and contribute to cascading infrastructure failures, p</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">roviding timely and reliable information to authorities and stakeholders about pre-disaster conditions, post-disaster damage, and recovery progression is crucial for response management, resource allocation,<i> </i>recovery activities, and risk reduction from future events. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; color: rgb(38, 38, 38);">In this session, we invite papers focusing on data and image fusion, algorithms and models for near real-time analytics, emerging theories and methods for disaster informatics visualization tools and platforms, data quality and model uncertainties, ethics of using EO and AI for risk and resilience monitoring and assessment, and future directions to meet climate changes. The session will provide opportunity for researchers, scientists and professionals to present their work to a diverse audience. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; color: rgb(38, 38, 38);"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"></p><div align="center"><table class="MsoNormalTable" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" style="width: 784px; background: rgb(249, 249, 249); border-collapse: collapse;"><tbody><tr><td valign="top" style="background: white; padding: 0in;"><div align="center"><table class="MsoNormalTable" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="590" style="width: 442.5pt; border-collapse: collapse;"><tbody><tr><td style="padding: 0in;"><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 1pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></p></td></tr><tr><td style="padding: 0in;"><div align="center"><table class="MsoNormalTable" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tbody><tr><td style="border: 1pt solid rgb(82, 146, 88); background: rgb(25, 118, 176); padding: 9.75pt 15pt;"><p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-align: center; line-height: 16.5pt;"><a href="https://email.agu.org/OTg3LUlHVC01NzIAAAGMWdW1x9btY31CzZKBfq7i5r27eiL66tNaqPvuMNAtU7W7zQW27wlvntRG9PtRo7GD7fuTqNo=" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(149, 79, 114);"><span style="font-size: 15pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: white; text-transform: uppercase;">SUBMIT ABSTRACT</span></a><span style="font-size: 15pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: white; text-transform: uppercase;"><o:p></o:p></span></p></td></tr></tbody></table></div></td></tr><tr style="height: 7.5pt;"><td style="padding: 0in; height: 7.5pt;"><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 1pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></p></td></tr></tbody></table></div></td></tr></tbody></table></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"></p><span style="font-family: -webkit-standard; font-size: medium;"></span><p class="xmsonormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">Session Conveners<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">Margaret Glasscoe, UAH<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">Bandana Kar, DOE<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">Guy Schumann, ImageCat Inc.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">ZhiQiang Chen, UMKC<o:p></o:p></span></p></body></html>
