Chair On behalf of the local Organizing the oral and poster sessions we will have the Technology- Committee, with great pleasure Industry-Education (TIE) Forum, where in a format different we welcome you to Valencia to from regular sessions, parallel topics about industry and participate in the International academia, women and young professionals in geoscience Geoscience and Remote Sensing and remote sensing, education, standards, application Symposium (IGARSS 2018), the networks, will be covered through panel presentations and 38th annual symposium of the IEEE interactive discussions. This year we have a new element Geoscience and Remote Sensing for the first time in IGARSS, the Code Workshop taking Society (GRSS). Following the place on Friday, where participants can practice with open tradition of previous IGARSS, many source tools for processing satellite data. Moreover, this colleagues in the geoscience and remote sensing community, year we have many technical meetings taking place in the from all over the world, will present the latest achievements, afternoon after the oral sessions, including those organized on-going activities and plans for future research, transferring by GRSS technical committees plus several other initiatives. knowledge and experiences from senior professional Two of them are organized by the European Space Agency researchers to students and young professionals, between (ESA), platinum sponsor of IGARSS 2018: “SMOS–an ESA the academia and industry communities, between different Earth Explorer satellite: from technology demonstrator to geographical areas and cultures. operational applications”, and the presentation of the new “ESA Carbon Science Constellation Initiative”, a consultation The theme of this year for IGARSS 2018 is “Observing, with the community about new ideas for enhanced Understanding and Forecasting the Dynamics of our Planet”. exploitation of multi-mission satellite data. IGARSS-18 will As Earth Observation becomes a mature technique and also host a large exhibition, where space agencies, industry, tools become more operational, we are moving towards editors and other companies will show recent developments. systematic and continuous global Earth coverage of most Many thanks to all of the people contributing to such parallel relevant processes in land, oceans and the atmosphere. events. We are no longer just observing or monitoring, we are now understanding the processes and the dynamics of our planet, At the opening plenary session, after IGARSS editions and being able to model such processes with increasing in Beijing and Fort Worth, and the coming editions in realism and accuracy. Hopefully this will bring us to the Yokohama and Hawaii, this year 2018 in Europe bring us next step, which is the capability to forecast the future of our the opportunity to highlight the activities done in Europe dynamical planet, with enough precision to make realistic in the context of Earth Observation. Europe has become estimates and to allow policy makers to make the right a key player with the Copernicus programme, Sentinel decisions in the benefit of the society. But at the same time missions, and related activities. The opening plenary new technologies emerge, new Earth Observation methods session will highlight presentations from the European Space appear, and new type of data become available. We need Agency, the European Commission, Eumetsat and national to keep watching at such new opportunities as well, always representatives, allowing IGARSS participants a quite keeping in mind that our final objective is to increase our complete overall view of the many things going on in Europe. understanding of the dynamics of the planet at all scales, to make really possible to estimate future trends. The Award Banquet will take place at the City of Arts and Sciences of Valencia, within the Hemispheric area, the first These topics and ideas highlighted in the IGARSS-18 theme, building in the complex. Come and enjoy such extraordinary will be discussed along the IGARSS week through the 2422 example of modern architecture. For the Ice Breaker we papers included in the final technical programme, distributed have something that you cannot miss in Valencia, the setup of into 1037 oral papers in 221 sessions, and 1385 interactive a ‘Falla’. But you will need to wait until the closing ceremony papers in 161 poster sessions.
