Events

For the first time, this workshop brings together experts from EARSeL and GISDECO networks. Especially for developing countries, integration of Remote Sensing and GIS offers unique access to primary data on the status of land surfaces, as well as possibilities for analysis, visualisation and development of possible solutions of problems, which due to dynamic changes both nature and humanity are exposed to. Global urbanisation, climate change and its effects on natural and human systems, land use and land cover changes, and salinisation are imminent dangers. The workshop provides a forum for presenting and discussing results, and to exchange expertise and experience among researchers and users engaged in solving the problems of developing countries.

The GISDECO Conferences have been held about every two years since its inception in 1991. The next event, which will take place in June 2008 in Istanbul Turkey, is organised in conjunction with the European Association of Remote Sensing Laboratories (EARSeL) and will therefore bring together Remote Sensing and GIS communities.
