THE HON LOUISE ASHER MP Minister for Innovation, Services and Small Business Minister for Tourism and Major Events Minister for Employment and Trade Welcome from the IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sending Society President On behalf of the IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society, I am delighted to welcome you to IGARSS 2013, and to express our sincere appreciation to the 2013 local team for organizing an outstanding conference. From the plenary session, which includes internationally recognized keynote speakers and celebrates the accomplishments of our members, to the technical program with contributors from more than 65 countries and the unique social events, IGARSS will once again be an outstanding international event for our community. We are especially appreciative of the extraordinary efforts of Peter Woodgate and Simon Jones, the General Co-Chairs, and their local staff to make IGARSS successful during challenging international times. I also congratulate and offer special thanks to Clive Fraser and Jeff Walker, who have done an outstanding job serving as co-chairs of the IGARSS technical committee. We are also grateful to Xiuping Jia and Kim Lowell, who organized the 2nd GRSS Remote Sensing “Summer” School. (We learned from our southern hemisphere colleagues that a new name may be in order!). The success of IGARSS also depends on the contributions of many people who operate behind the scenes – thanks on behalf of the GRSS to all of you! The IGARSS reputation is based both on the high quality of the conference and the local “branding” provided by the organizing team. We always anticipate the social programs and opportunities to explore the area, as well as to attend sessions and interact with colleagues. Our Australian colleagues and the city of Melbourne have demonstrated that IGARSS 2013 will definitely be an event to be remembered in this respect as well. Best regards, Melba Crawford President, IEEE GRSS 23 Welcome from the General Co-Chairs On behalf of the IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society (GRSS) we would like to warmly welcome you to Melbourne for IGARSS 2013 with a heartfelt “G’day”! The Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society was founded 51 years ago and this will be the 33rd annual IGARSS symposium continuing the wonderful tradition of gathering world-class scientists, engineers and educators in the fields of geoscience and remote sensing. researchers and thinkers; and Dr Rob Vertessy, Director of the Australian Bureau of Meteorology. In a comprehensive program running over 8 days, there will be over 1000 oral papers in 12 parallel sessions, over 400 posters, 20 exhibitors, 7 special tutorials, a two day summer school with 9 guest speakers, a full day technical tour to Victoria’s beautiful forests in the Central Highlands to visit the communities devastated by the 2009 ‘Black Saturday’ bushfires lead by one of Victoria’s former fire chiefs who fought the fires on the day, a Technical Committee and Chapter luncheon, a Women in Engineering reception, a Young Professionals luncheon, the traditional IGARSS soccer game, a reception at the Melbourne Aquarium, and the Annual IGARSS Symposium dinner at the elegant and historic Plaza Ballroom. You will join delegates from over 60 countries for the opportunity to network, catch up with old friends and make new ones, learn and enjoy yourself over the course of the Symposium. This year the theme is ‘Building a sustainable earth through remote sensing’. An outstanding technical program explores the role of satellite, airborne and ground based sensors for atmosphere, cryosphere, oceans and terrestrial systems research. Specialist sessions will be held on sensors and platforms; data management, dissemination, education and policy; data assimilation; emerging space programs; data fusion and integration; in situ observation and data scaling; and advances in analysis techniques. We welcome all delegates to the opening reception on the evening of Sunday 21 July at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre. On the morning of Monday 22 July we hold the Opening Plenary. We are delighted and honoured to have as our distinguished guest speakers: Senator the Honourable Kate Lundy, Australia’s lead minister for space; IEEE President Dr Peter Staecker; GRSS President Professor Melba Crawford; the Chief Executive of Geoscience Australia Dr Chris Pigram; the Director General of the Remote Sensing and Digital Earth Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences Professor Guo Huadong; Emeritus Professor of Geography Mike Goodchild of the University of California, one of the world’s leading GIS On behalf of our Organising Committee of 30 dedicated volunteers from all over Australia and the world we are delighted to welcome you to marvellous, cosmopolitan and gracious Melbourne. Best wishes for a wonderful IGARSS 2013! Simon Jones and Peter Woodgate General Co-Chairs IGARSS 2013, Melbourne July 2013 24 Technical Program Overview The Technical Programme Committee (TPC) takes great pleasure in welcoming you all to IGARSS 2013, and in presenting to you the technical programme that we have helped construct from over 1900 high-quality submissions this year. The conference continues to evolve and expand, and this year we have introduced topical themes on UAV and groundbased SAR systems, the integration of earth observing systems and extra-terrestrial geoscience and remote sensing. In the ascendancy are small satellites, as are big data and the use of GIS for geoscience and remote sensing, and of course this year we have a special focus on remote sensing activity in Australasia and Oceania. In keeping with that theme, the IGARSS 2013 symposium will play host to a special session on “Developing SAR for Australia’s Earth Observation Needs”, and all delegates with an interest in synthetic aperture radar remote sensing are encouraged to contribute to this important discussion. Before describing this year’s programme it is only fitting that we begin by thanking the thousand-strong army of volunteer reviewers whose contribution of time and effort has ensured that the papers accepted to the conference are original, technically correct, accessible and relevant. Following the review process, the 100-strong TPC met in Los Angeles in March 2013 to construct a technical programme that reports leading-edge developments in sensor technologies, methodologies and applications in geoscience and remote sensing, and that reflects the current concerns regarding climate, resources and hazards in the global community. As usual the technical programme includes only those posters and presentations for which a presenting author has registered at the time of going to press. In the event of a no-show, we request that presenters keep to the listed time-table to ensure delegates moving between sessions do not miss papers. Any gaps in the programme will provide opportunities for extended discussions lead by the session chairs, whose contribution to the success of the programme is gratefully acknowledged. We would also thank the staff at Conference Management Services (CMS, Inc.) whose unstinting efforts make the organisation of the technical programme possible. Despite Australia’s location, and the difficulties associated with the US Sequestration, it has been necessary to expand to 12 parallel sessions, from the 10 planned originally, in order to accommodate what promises to be a vibrant symposium. This year the TPC took into account feedback from delegates from previous years by reducing to 27% the fraction of invited papers, and your continued feedback on this and other issues is welcomed. Finally our grateful thanks and best wishes go out to you: the presenters and delegates, without whom there would be no symposium. This is your conference, and your contributions make it the flagship event for remote sensing geoscientists and researchers the world over. We hope you enjoy a most exciting and productive week in Melbourne at IGARSS 2013. With six sessions on forests, forests biomass and forest structure, and new sessions on forest degradation and forest temporal decorrelation, the symposium is clearly a significant forum for the increasingly important role of remote sensing in the monitoring of forests. Climate concerns continue to be reflected in the programme with themes on the remote sensing of atmosphere, soil moisture, precipitation, snow cover and of particular note the use of multi-frequency SAR interferometry for ice monitoring.
